Abstract: (140 Views)
Aims: This study aimed to determine the association of socio-demographic, educational, and attitudinal factors with knowledge about HIV/AIDS among young women aged 15-24 in Indonesia.
Methods: This study was a quantitative study with observational analytical and retrospective cohort study design. The data used was secondary data derived from the Individual Recode Dataset (IR File), 2017 Demographic Health Survey (IDHS). A total of 12,632 young women, aged 15 to 24 years, were involved in the study in Indonesia. This study utilized univariate, bivariate (chi-square), and multivariate (binary logistic regression) tests.
Findings: All variables were found to have a significant association with knowledge about HIV/AIDS. The most influential variable was the source of information about AIDS, comparing categories of no information versus more information (p= <0.001, aOR= 2.53, 95%CI= 2.30-2.78).
Conclusion: One way to reduce the prevalence of HIV/AIDS is by increasing comprehensive knowledge about HIV/AIDS. Therefore, it is essential to enhance knowledge about HIV/AIDS, especially among vulnerable groups such as young women residing in rural areas, with low socioeconomic status, and low levels of education. Hence, the utilization of all available information and the equitable distribution of health facilities are crucial.
