Abstract

A total of 120 teachers from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, underwent HIV/AIDS training. As part of the study, the teachers were surveyed, before and after the training, about their perceptions of HIV prevalences among pupils, other teachers, and community members, and about their perceptions of their own HIV status. Before the training, the teachers estimated average HIV prevalences among pupils, other teachers, and other community members to be 36%, 48%, and 61%, respectively. One-third of the teachers believed that they had a 50% or greater chance of currently being infected with HIV. Male teachers and teachers with a university degree gave lower HIV prevalence estimates for other people but not for themselves. Frequency of condom use was positively related to teachers' HIV prevalence estimates for other people. Teachers' estimates of HIV prevalence and perceived risk of own HIV infection increased significantly after the HIV/AIDS training.

摘要

来自南非夸祖鲁 - 纳塔尔省的120名教师接受了艾滋病毒/艾滋病培训。作为研究的一部分，在培训前后对教师进行了调查，了解他们对学生、其他教师和社区成员中艾滋病毒流行率的看法，以及他们对自身艾滋病毒感染状况的看法。培训前，教师估计学生、其他教师和其他社区成员中的艾滋病毒平均流行率分别为36%、48%和61%。三分之一的教师认为他们目前感染艾滋病毒的几率为50%或更高。男教师和拥有大学学位的教师对其他人的艾滋病毒流行率估计较低，但对自己的估计并非如此。避孕套使用频率与教师对其他人的艾滋病毒流行率估计呈正相关。在接受艾滋病毒/艾滋病培训后，教师对艾滋病毒流行率的估计以及对自身感染艾滋病毒风险的认知显著增加。
