• W2744368198 abstract "Background: HIV/AIDS has become the most devastating global epidemic the world hasever faced. Early knowledge of HIV infection is now recognized as a critical componentin controlling the spread of HIV infection and, for people with HIV infection, as an entrypoint for treatment, care and support.Objective: To identify the determinants of HIV-VCT acceptance in Gondar town,Northwest Ethiopia.Methods: The study design was case-control, where the cases are those who acceptedVCT and the controls are those who did not accept VCT. A total of 115 cases and 230controls from Gondar town were included in the study. The data was summarized andorganized using tables and texts. Associations between different exploratory variablesand outcome variable (VCT acceptance) was made using odds ratio with confidenceintervals. Multiple logistic regressions were used to show the impact of differentdeterminants for VCT acceptance by controlling different confounders at the same time.P-value less than 5% was considered significant.Results: VCT acceptance was about seven times (OR = 6.91, 95% CI 1.21, 39.52) morelikely to occur among unmarried than those who were divorced, separated and/orwindowed. VCT acceptance was less likely (OR = 0.03, 95% CI 0.01, 0.15) to occuramong students than those who were employed.VCT acceptance was about 4.75 times (OR = 4.75, 95% CI 1.05, 21.45) more likely tooccur among those ever had sex than their counterparts. Those who had self-perceivedrisk and had knowledge of HIV/AIDS prevention methods were about 6 times (OR =6.08, 95% CI 1.89, 19.54) and 21.12 times (OR = 21.12, 95% CI 6.38, 69.95) more likelyto accept VCT than their counterparts respectively. VCT acceptance were less likely (OR= 0.03, 95% CI 0.01, 0.14) and (OR = 0.03, 95% CI 0.00, 0.42) to occur among thoseknow that a healthy-looking person can have the virus and those had knowledge of STIsrespectively than their counterparts.As to the problems related with VCT, those didn't know friends response was about 19times (OR = 19.08, 95% CI 4.73, 77.00) more likely to occur among VCT acceptors thantheir counterparts, while didn't trust confidentiality of VCT services was less likely (OR= 0.19, 95% CI 0.06, 0.62) to occur among VCT acceptors than non-acceptors. VCTacceptance was less likely (OR = 0.06, 95% CI 0.02, 0.25) to occur among those said nochange in relation to HIV positive partner than those said gradually separated.Conclusions and recommendations: Those unmarried, had initiated sex, self-perceivedrisk, knowledge of HIV/AIDS prevention methods and don't know friend's response aremore likely to accept VCT. Being a student, those know that a healthy-looking personcan have the virus and those had knowledge of STIs are less likely to accept VCT. Thosehad problems of don't trust confidentiality of VCT service and those have intention of nochange in relationship to HIV positive partner are less likely to accept VCT. Efforts topromote VCT require education about the benefits of testing to students and women inparticular and all groups of individuals in general and organizing VCT service to makemore acceptable to different groups of people is recommended." @default.
