OBJECTIVES
To examine perceived HIV prevalence and disease burden in high-risk adults in Cape Town, South Africa.
METHODS
A convenience sample of 793 male and 188 female sexually transmitted infection clinic patients completed anonymous surveys.
RESULTS
Individuals who saw themselves at greater risk for HIV/AIDS also perceived greater local HIV prevalence. Participants presented extremely distorted views of local HIV prevalence that exceed the reality in Cape Town. Perceiving greater local AIDS burden was independently associated with condom use.
CONCLUSIONS
Interventions that accurately place local AIDS burden in the context of places with relatively lower burden may activate protective motivations.
目的
调查南非开普敦高危成年人对艾滋病病毒流行率和疾病负担的认知情况。
方法
对793名男性和188名女性性传播感染门诊患者进行便利抽样，完成匿名调查。
结果
认为自己感染艾滋病病毒/艾滋病风险更高的个体也认为当地艾滋病病毒流行率更高。参与者对当地艾滋病病毒流行率的看法极度扭曲，超过了开普敦的实际情况。认为当地艾滋病负担更重与使用避孕套独立相关。
结论
在艾滋病负担相对较低的地区准确说明当地艾滋病负担情况的干预措施可能会激发保护动机。
