- W2431782368 abstract "Sub-Saharan Africa continues to be the hardest-hit area of the world with respect to Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS). In Ghana HIV has spread at a slower rate than in other African countries with prevalence of 1.5% in 2012. This would not have been possible without effective interventions such as voluntary testing and counseling (VCT). VCT is offered by a variety of healthcare providers. Its dual goals are preventing further transmission of HIV and diagnosing HIV-positive individuals enabling treatment, care and support. This paper examined the factors influencing the utilization of testing and counseling services amongst staff of Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. Stratified random sampling was used to select 150 respondents to self administer the questionnaires. The collected data was analyzed by the use of percentages and descriptive analysis. 80% of the respondents indicated that they have tested for HIV before and 30 representing 20% said otherwise. The respondents gave existence of treatment, plan for the future, living a healthier life, protecting their partners from infection, getting counseled on how to live with HIV if infected and getting counseled on how to live if the result is negative as reasons for testing. The other respondents who have not tested gave reasons including being scared of knowing their status, scared of discrimination, scared of being stigmatized, scared the results will not be kept confidential, scared of dying, scared their partners will reject them and scared that they will lose their jobs." @default.
