• W3136239794 abstract "Abstract Background: KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) is the province with the highest HIV prevalence in South Africa (SA). Community Health Workers (CHWs) are key to delivery of HIV services at community level. Evidence on knowledge and perceptions of people living with HIV (PLWH) regarding the HIV services that are offered by the CHWs is limited. Therefore, this study seeks to determine knowledge and perceptions of PLWH regarding the HIV services that are offered by the CHWs in KZN. Methods : The study design was a quantitative survey using an administrator-administered questionnaire. A total of 303 PLWH from 3 selected KZN clinics were interviewed to determine their knowledge and perceptions of HIV services offered by the CHWs. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27 was used to describe the population and testing for associations between variables. The significant level was set at a p value ≤ 0.05 and at 95% confidence internal. Results: Among the 303 PLWH surveyed, 24 (8%), knew about the HIV services offered by the CHWs and of the 89 (29%) participants that were visited by CHWs, 73 (82%) had a positive perception about these services. Participants who were visited by a CHW were more likely (OR=1.57, 95% CI: 0.57-4.35) to know about the HIV services. Knowledge of HIV services was significantly associated with the positive perception of the HIV services (p<0.05). Knowledge and perception of the HIV services was not associated with age, gender, level of education or duration of visiting the clinic. Conclusion: The majority of PLWH in KZN have poor knowledge of HIV services offered by the CHWs and most of them have never been visited by a CHW in their homes. Those that were visited by CHWs were more likely to have positive perceptions regarding their HIV services. The findings of the study should trigger the scaling up of HIV community targeted initiatives that are delivered by CHWs in order to curb the HIV epidemic in the province." @default.
