This study examined HIV-related knowledge and attitudes among 524 randomly selected adult residents from 12 rural Chinese communities where HIV infection among plasma donors has been reported. Most participants were familiar with the main routes of HIV transmission but had substantial misconceptions about risk of HIV transmission through casual social contacts. Higher score of misconception and being older and married independently predicted stronger discriminatory attitude. Intervention programs with focus on eliminating misconceptions about HIV transmission may reduce stigma.
本研究调查了来自中国12个农村社区的524名随机抽取的成年居民的艾滋病相关知识和态度,这些社区曾报告过血浆捐献者中存在艾滋病毒感染情况。大多数参与者熟悉艾滋病毒的主要传播途径,但对通过日常社交接触传播艾滋病毒的风险存在重大误解。误解得分较高、年龄较大以及已婚各自独立预示着更强的歧视态度。侧重于消除对艾滋病毒传播误解的干预项目可能会减少污名化现象。
