To determine the level of knowledge, proper attitudes and safe sex practices regarding the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection in Peruvian women ages 15 to 49 years.
We used the results of the Continuous 2004-2007 Peruvian Demographic and Health survey (DHS). The dependent variable comprised the level of knowledge and attitudes regarding the disease and safe sexual practices. Descriptive statistical analysis and logistic regression was performed to find association between variables.
A good level of knowledge about sexually transmitted infection (including HIV infection) was found in 47.8% of women from the population surveyed; 50.7% showed proper attitudes in relation to the disease and the people affected by it, while safe sexual practices were observed in 48.8% of the persons surveyed. Higher educational level, high index of socio-economic welfare, residence in the capital city during childhood, working as professional, technical, business women or clerical position; and frequent media access, were related to greater knowledge, good attitudes and safe practices.
The level of knowledge, attitudes and practices shown by 15 to 49 year old Peruvian women regarding sexually transmitted infections is not adequate.
确定15至49岁秘鲁女性中关于人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）感染的知识水平、正确态度和安全性行为情况。
我们采用了2004 - 2007年秘鲁人口与健康连续调查（DHS）的结果。因变量包括对该疾病的知识水平、态度以及安全性行为。进行描述性统计分析和逻辑回归以找出变量之间的关联。
在接受调查的人群中，47.8%的女性对性传播感染（包括HIV感染）有较好的知识水平；50.7%的女性对该疾病及受其影响的人群表现出正确态度，而48.8%的被调查者有安全性行为。较高的教育水平、较高的社会经济福利指数、童年时期居住在首都、从事专业、技术、商业或文职工作；以及频繁接触媒体，都与更多的知识、良好态度和安全行为相关。
15至49岁秘鲁女性在性传播感染方面表现出的知识水平、态度和行为并不理想。
