- W2943777360 abstract "A case-control study was conducted from November 2003 to January 2004 to investigate theassociation of socio-demographic variables with VCT use and to assess determinants of VCTservice utilization using both Quantitative and Qualitative methods of data collections.A total of 636 individuals (212 cases and 424 controls), who came to health institutions thatdeliver VCT services in Guraghe Zone, were enrolled in the study. Twelve (5.7%) of cases and82 (19.3%) of controls (non-VCT users), 94 (14.8%) of the total study subjects had not haveheard of VCT in general. The main reason for VCT utilization among cases was pre-marital 160(75.5%) and the main reasons for non-use among controls were partner-and self-trust (23.1%),no information about it (17.8%), other social reasons (13.7%) and lack of nearby services(13.0%).The majority (82.8%) of cases were in the age groups of 15-19 and 20-29 years. Studyparticipants were 54.7% males, 78.3% rural by residence, 54.7% followers of orthodox religion,80.7% Guraghe by ethnicity, 37.3% farmers by occupation, the majority (67%) had educationalstatus of elementary and below and 80.7% were unmarried.Religion, Muslim & other Christianity, secondary and above educational status, otheroccupational status, singleness and non-polygamous union showed statistically significantpositive associations with VCT utilization. Attitudes related to stigma and discrimination showedstatistically significant positive associations with cases but there was no statistically significantdifference regarding knowledge and practice between cases and controls.Confidential testing, Physicians as counselors, and face-to-face way of receiving HIV VCT testresult were the preferred VCT schemes by most respondents and FGD participants.Most health institutions do not have referral system for social support, targeted VCT, follow uptraining and supervision, referral for indeterminate HIV VCT test results.Maximizing pre-marital VCT with proper information dissemination targeting the ruralcommunity, involving all possible stakeholders and using local resources, follow-up trainingand supervision and setting up referral systems are recommended." @default.
