BACKGROUND
Patients with Tuberculosis (TB) are a vulnerable group for acquiring HIV infection. Therefore, countries with a concentrated HIV epidemic and high prevalence of TB should provide adequate information about HIV prevention to TB patients.
METHODS
We conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate the level of knowledge on HIV prevention and transmission among newly diagnosed TB patients in Lima, Peru. The survey evaluated knowledge about HIV infection and prevention and was administered before HIV counseling and blood sampling for HIV testing were performed.
RESULTS
A total of 171 TB patients were enrolled; mean age was 31.1 years, 101 (59%) were male. The overall mean level of knowledge of HIV was 59%; but the specific mean level of knowledge on HIV transmission and prevention was only 33.3% and 41.5%, respectively. Age and level of education correlated with overall level of knowledge in the multivariate model (P-value: 0.02 and <0.001 respectively).
CONCLUSIONS
The study shows inadequate levels of knowledge about HIV transmission and prevention among newly-diagnosed TB patients in this setting, and underscores the need for implementing educational interventions in this population.
背景
结核病（TB）患者是感染艾滋病毒的脆弱群体。因此，艾滋病毒流行集中且结核病发病率高的国家应向结核病患者提供有关艾滋病毒预防的充分信息。
方法
我们进行了一项横断面研究，以评估秘鲁利马新诊断出的结核病患者对艾滋病毒预防的认知水平。该调查评估了对 HIV 感染和预防的了解程度，并在进行艾滋病毒咨询和采集艾滋病毒检测血液样本之前进行。
结果
共纳入 171 例结核病患者；平均年龄为 31.1 岁，101 例（59%）为男性。艾滋病毒总体知识平均水平为 59%；但 HIV 传播和预防的具体平均知识水平仅为 33.3%和 41.5%。年龄和教育程度与多变量模型中的整体知识水平相关（P 值分别为 0.02 和 <0.001）。
结论
这项研究表明，在这种情况下，新诊断出的结核病患者对 HIV 传播和预防的了解程度不足，强调需要在这一人群中实施教育干预措施。
