BACKGROUND
In Ghana, efforts including 'Know Your Status' campaign have been made to increase awareness and improve the uptake of HIV screening.
OBJECTIVE
This study examined the acceptance and utilization of the HIV/AIDS 'Know Your Status' campaign and determine dthe differences in HIV testing by demographic characteristics among the youth in Techiman, Ghana.
METHOD
This study was a cross-sectional study conducted among the youth aged 15-24 years. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 200 purposively selected respondents.
RESULTS
The mean age of the respondents was 19.6±2.72 years. There was a universal awareness (100%) of HIV/AIDs, and were knowledgeable about the mode of transmission, symptoms and the prevention of HIV. A high proportion of the respondents (n=161, 80.5%) had heard about the 'Know Your Status' (KYS) campaign. Less than half of respondents (n=91, 45.5%) had tested for HIV, and only 16.5% (n=15/91) of respondents tested through the KYS campaign. Testing for HIV was associated with age (p<0.001) and marital status (p<0.001).
CONCLUSION
The youth should therefore be targeted in the awareness and the 'Know Your Status campaigns', and in an effortsto promote screening for HIV.
背景
在加纳，已经开展了包括“了解你的状况”运动在内的各项努力，以提高人们对艾滋病毒检测的认识，并增加艾滋病毒检测的人数。
目的
本研究旨在调查加纳特马地区青年对艾滋病毒/艾滋病“了解你的状况”运动的接受和利用情况，并根据人口特征确定青年进行艾滋病毒检测的差异。
方法
本研究为横断面研究，对象为年龄在 15 至 24 岁的青年。采用结构化问卷，对 200 名有针对性选择的受访者进行数据收集。
结果
受访者的平均年龄为 19.6±2.72 岁。他们普遍了解艾滋病毒/艾滋病（100%），了解其传播方式、症状和艾滋病毒预防措施。很大一部分受访者（n=161，80.5%）听说过“了解你的状况”（KYS）运动。不到一半的受访者（n=91，45.5%）接受过艾滋病毒检测，只有 16.5%（n=15/91）的受访者通过 KYS 运动接受了检测。艾滋病毒检测与年龄（p<0.001）和婚姻状况（p<0.001）有关。
结论
因此，应针对青年开展提高认识和“了解你的状况”运动，并努力促进艾滋病毒检测。
