analyze the association between the level of HIV knowledge among young people from Amazonas region, their sociodemographic profile and infection risk factors.
cross-sectional analytical study, which used a structured questionnaire containing questions about sociodemographic, behavioral aspects and HIV knowledge. Data were grouped by sex and underwent ordinal and binary logistic regression analysis.
the students had an HIV knowledge deficit, associated with a low educational level of their parents and low family income. The most frequent risk factors were lack of knowledge on the part of female students regarding proper male condom use, their infrequent use in sexual relations and failure to do HIV testing. There was an association between level of knowledge and use of dating apps by female students.
there was no association between level of knowledge and the preponderant risk factors, but the students' knowledge deficit rendered them more vulnerable to infection.
分析亚马逊地区青年人群的 HIV 知识水平与其社会人口统计学特征和感染风险因素之间的关系。
这是一项横断面分析研究,使用了一份包含社会人口统计学、行为方面和 HIV 知识问题的结构化问卷。数据按性别分组,并进行了有序和二元逻辑回归分析。
学生的 HIV 知识存在不足,这与他们父母的低教育水平和低家庭收入有关。最常见的风险因素是女学生缺乏正确使用男用避孕套的知识、她们在性关系中不经常使用避孕套以及不进行 HIV 检测。女学生对约会应用程序的使用与知识水平之间存在关联。
知识水平与主要风险因素之间没有关联,但学生的知识不足使他们更容易感染。
