Factors Associated with Knowledge and Attitudes of HIV Patients towards HIV-Based Services at Kibagabaga District Hospital.
Background: HIV is still a significant global public health issue. World health organization (WHO) recommends that people infected with HIV should initiate HIV-based services as early as possible. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and attitude levels of HIV patients towards HIV-based services and associated factors.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 274 HIV patients obtaining HIV-based services at Kibagabaga Hospital. Descriptive analysis, bivariate and logistic regression analysis were performed using SPSS version 21. P-value <0.05 was declared as significant.
Results: The majority of respondents were female 158 (57.7%) and 107 (39.1%) were aged 50 years old and more. Analysis revealed that 86.1% had good knowledge on HIV-based services and 81% exhibited positive attitudes. Respondents aged 40-49 years (AOR: 11.59; 95% CI: 1.560 - 86.063), aged 50 years (AOR: 16.44; 95% CI: 2.150 - 125.653), Urban (AOR: 7.05; 95% CI: 1.999 - 24.88) and engaged for more than 5 years (AOR: 13.29; 95% CI: 1.694 - 104.182) were more likely to exhibit good knowledge towards HIV-based services.
Conclusion: The study revealed favorable knowledge and attitudes towards HIV-based services, However, improved awareness is needed to improve uptake in rural communities.
