Abstract

ABSTRACT Children affected by HIV or AIDS (CABA) are vulnerable to social consequences such as neglect, stigma, and exclusion, leading to poor child well-being. We assessed the well-being of CABA and the factors associated with it. Our sample included 288 CABA, aged 10–18 years, from four divisions of Bangladesh – Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and Khulna. The mean age of the children was 12.93 (±2.36) years. Among the children, 58% were boys, 78% were from rural areas, and 48.6% were receiving some form of HIV-sensitive social protection services from different non-governmental organizations. Around 91% of the children were continuing their education, 93% were vaccinated according to the national immunization schedule, and 13% were infected with HIV. We found that child well-being was not significantly associated with HIV-sensitive social protection services (OR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.40–1.95), but with family wealth (OR: 5.23, 95% CI: 1.88–14.51). Therefore, we argue for HIV-sensitive social protection services that consider the economic well-being of the families of the CABA along with other well-being aspects.

孟加拉国受艾滋病毒/艾滋病影响儿童的幸福状况：一项横断面研究

摘要受艾滋病毒或艾滋病影响的儿童容易受到忽视、污名化和排斥等社会后果的影响，从而导致儿童福祉不佳。我们评估了CABA的健康状况及其相关因素。我们的样本包括288名年龄在10-18岁之间的CABA，他们来自孟加拉国的四个部门——达卡、吉大港、锡尔赫特和库尔纳。儿童的平均年龄为12.93（±2.36）岁。在这些儿童中，58%是男孩，78%来自农村地区，48.6%正在接受不同非政府组织提供的某种形式的对艾滋病毒敏感的社会保护服务。大约91%的儿童正在继续接受教育，93%的儿童根据国家免疫计划接种了疫苗，13%的儿童感染了艾滋病毒。我们发现，儿童幸福感与对艾滋病毒敏感的社会保护服务（OR:0.88，95%CI:0.40-1.95）没有显著相关性，但与家庭财富（OR:5.23，95%CI:1.88-14.51）有显著相关性。
