This study investigated the utilization of services around HIV testing in Burkina Faso through a survey that combined quantitative and qualitative data from 14 selected sites and 299 questionnaires. While some attitudes and behaviors towards HIV testing were similar for women and men, we found lower use of services by men, greater concerns about testing and disclosure on the part of women, and differences between men and women in motivations to test, and the experience of testing and its consequences. The results are discussed in the context of Burkina Faso and in terms of their implications for efforts to improve access to services around HIV.
本研究通过一项调查,对布基纳法索围绕艾滋病毒检测的服务利用情况进行了调查。该调查结合了来自14个选定地点的定量和定性数据以及299份问卷。虽然男性和女性对艾滋病毒检测的一些态度和行为相似,但我们发现男性对服务的利用率较低,女性对检测和披露更为担忧,并且男性和女性在检测动机、检测经历及其后果方面存在差异。将在布基纳法索的背景下讨论这些结果,并探讨其对改善艾滋病毒相关服务可及性努力的影响。
