to analyze the factors associated with university students' knowledge about HIV and preand post-exposure prophylaxis.
a cross-sectional study was conducted with 503 university students from a southern state in Brazil; data were collected using a characterization tool and a questionnaire containing 16 statements about the topic; descriptive measures and Poisson regression models with robust variance were used for analysis.
the prevalence of adequate knowledge (i.e., scoring more than 12 correct answers) was 27.83%; students older than 24 years, enrolled in health-related courses, who had not engaged in sexual relations in the last quarter, with a history of rapid HIV testing, and who knew or had heard about the prophylaxes showed a higher likelihood of scoring more than 12 correct answers.
generally, the knowledge of young people about HIV and its prophylaxes was found to be inadequate and influenced by sociodemographic, educational, and behavioral factors.
分析与大学生艾滋病病毒(HIV)知识和暴露前及暴露后预防知识相关的因素。
在巴西南部一个州进行了一项横断面研究,共纳入 503 名大学生;使用特征描述工具和一份包含 16 个关于该主题的陈述的问卷收集数据;采用描述性措施和稳健方差的 Poisson 回归模型进行分析。
适当知识(即答对超过 12 题)的流行率为 27.83%;24 岁以上、修读健康相关课程、过去一个季度未发生性行为、有快速 HIV 检测史、了解或听说过预防措施的学生,答对超过 12 题的可能性更高。
总体而言,年轻人对 HIV 及其预防措施的知识不足,受到社会人口学、教育和行为因素的影响。
