| dc.description | Human Immunodeficiency Virus continues to be a pandemic. Spain is one of the European
countries with the highest incidence of HIV.
Within Catalonia, Spain many projects have been implemented with the intention of improving HIV knowledge and lowering the incidence. HIV knowledge is also known to have a positive effect on lowering stigma and discrimination of the people living with HIV.
However, few studies study the distribution of HIV knowledge and its association to HIV status, age, sex,
geographical zone of origin and level of education within the same study.
Objectives: To identify if HIV knowledge is associated with HIV status, age, sex, geographical zone of
origin and level of education.
Method: Quantitative, cross-sectional, centre-based study comprising of people receiving an HIV test in
Catalonia, Spain. Data will be collected from the 11 HIV Non-Governmental Organisations in Catalonia,
Spain.
The Brief HIV Knowledge Scale will be used to assess HIV knowledge; information from the HIV
test session will be used to assess HIV status, age, sex, geographic zone of origin and level of education.
The association between HIV knowledge and the afore mentioned variables will then be calculated. | |
