Download or read book How Perceived Barriers to Voluntary Counseling Testing Impact Actual HIV Testing Among Injection Drug Users in Kazakhstan written by Brynn Nicole Viale and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Kazakhstan, the HIV epidemic is largely confined to the injection drug user (IDU) population. Cultural stigma and discrimination discourage this population from seeking information on HIV testing, treatment, and prevention. The present study was designed to assess perceived barriers to seeking and accessing voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) and to examine factors that could account for those barriers. Participants were selected by a respondent driven sampling technique and were administered a standardized, face-to-face survey. The final sample included 1,071 IDU in Kazakhstan in 2006. Within the sample population, the mean age was 32.4 years (SD= 7.618), 80.4% were male, and 70.1% had reported being previously tested for HIV. A logistic regression model was developed to determine the influence of twelve common perceived barriers to HIV testing behavior. Three distinct barriers including fear of a positive result, the perception of more immediate problems, and inconvenient testing center hours predicted testing behavior. This analysis hopes to contribute to the development of HIV preventive approaches that may aid in creating effective programming and outreach efforts within the IDU population in Central Asia.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite wide acceptance of Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) as a crucial entry point for the prevention, treatment, care and support of HIV-infected persons; the prevalence of testing in Ethiopia remains very low. A review of the literature identifies the set of factors that influence HIV testing of individuals to include socio-economic and demographic factors, knowledge of HIV/AIDS, risk perception, fear of stigma, social capital and the perceived benefit of VCT. By drawing assumptions based on the known literature, this mini-thesis explores the relationship between VCT usage and the above factors in order to explain the status of HIV testing in Moher and Aklil district, Gurage Zone, Ethiopia. The study hopes to address the dearth of material on VCT and contribute to it in a non-clinical and rural context.

One hundred percent of participants reported ever having sex without a condom while 28.58% reported ever using PrEP for prevention. Discussion: Voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) is a good tool for knowledge of HIV status and prevention. However, good strategies for recruiting this population is important for the success of VCT in any given population.

Book excerpt: Over the past twenty years, many low- and middle-income countries have experimented with health insurance options. While their plans have varied widely in scale and ambition, their goals are the same: to make health services more affordable through the use of public subsidies while also moving care providers partially or fully into competitive markets. Until now, however, we have known little about the actual effects of these dramatic policy changes. Understanding the impact of health insurance-based care is key to the public policy debate of whether to extend insurance to low-income populationsand if so, how to do itor to serve them through other means.
