摘要

摘要:本文旨在为加纳矿业社区艾滋病毒流行率的变化提供证据。数据收集采用有目的抽样。审查了五年记录(2011-2015年),并从医院登记册中提取了有关年龄、性别、艾滋病毒筛查日期、结果和地点的数据,并以电子方式输入以供分析。这项研究的结果表明,加纳采矿社区的艾滋病毒感染率很高。这项研究还发现了常规艾滋病毒检测的下降。该研究提出了调整公共卫生工作的方法,以改善采矿社区的艾滋病毒检测。根据这项研究的结果,女性和年轻一代之间的交易性活动可能是艾滋病毒高感染率的原因。

HIV prevalence variations in mining communities in Ghana
Abstract This paper aimed at providing evidence on the variations in HIV prevalence in mining communities in Ghana. Purposive sampling was used for collection of data. Five years records (2011–2015) were reviewed and data on age, sex, date of HIV screening, results and location were extracted from hospital registers and entered electronically for analysis. Findings emerging from this study suggest high HIV prevalence in mining communities in Ghana. This study also identified a decline in routine HIV testing. The study suggests means to tailor public health efforts to improve HIV testing in mining communities. Transactional sexual activities among women and the younger generations may account for the high HIV prevalence according to findings from this study.
