This book was released on 2017 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study utilized a quantitative, cross-sectional, survey design to explore the knowledge and attitudes, including stereotypes, held by graduate social work students towards People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). It specifically studied the relationship between the following two identified areas: (1) knowledge about the HIV virus, epidemic, and best-practices in working with PLWHA; and (2) personal biases towards those commonly infected. A nonprobability, purposive sample of 72 MSW II graduate students constituted the respondents of this study. Study findings indicate that respondents who were least comfortable providing HIV services endorsed higher levels of blaming PLWHA for contracting their disease, higher levels of personal bias towards HIV-positive pregnant women or parents, and AIDS phobia. Respondents who indicated that they were most comfortable providing HIV services, also expressed that they have attained a greater amount of information regarding HIV/AIDS treatments within their MSW program. T-tests for independent groups found that students who identified as religious were less comfortable delivering HIV services to clients, and endorsed higher levels of HIV stigma than students who identified as non-religious. The common types of HIV stigma that were endorsed at higher levels by respondents who identified as religious included: homophobia, transphobia, victim blame, AIDS phobia, and bias toward HIV-positive pregnant women or parents. Age emerged as a factor in the existence of bias, students over the age of 30 reported increased levels of bias towards commonly stigmatized HIV/AIDS groups than those in the 20 - 29 age range, this included homophobia, racism, and AIDS phobia. Additionally, findings indicate that students who had previously encountered an HIV-positive client at their field placement were more comfortable discussing HIV-related topics. Although majority of respondents fared well on the knowledge about HIV Transmission Quiz, detailed content about HIV/AIDS, including the HIV Treatment Quiz was poorly identified by the respondents with several unsure and incorrect answers. Recommendations include the imperative need to develop inclusive curriculum that integrates the diversity competencies required in the graduate social work program, with the competent knowledge and attitudinal requirements for helping PLWHA.

Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to shed light on the knowledge, attitudes and beliefs Russian and Commonwealth of Independent States-region college students possess about HIV/AIDS and their sources for health information. This qualitative study used two data-collection methods for the purposes of triangulation. These data collection methods included focus groups and in-depth interviews. A total of two gender-specific focus groups and seven in-depth interviews were completed. Research questions for this study probed the specific knowledge students possessed on the causes of HIV/AIDS, transmission routes, symptoms and prevention of infection. Questions also investigated student attitudes toward HIV/AIDS-infected individuals, beliefs about their own risk of infection and preferred sources for HIV/AIDS information in the media. Discussions with participants revealed that Russian and CIS college students possess general knowledge of the disease and prevention methods. However, their perceptions of personal risk are low. Many students still associate the disease with foreigners and marginalized groups such as drug addicts, prostitutes and homosexuals. Consequently, many describe themselves as distant from these groups and therefore protected from infection. Mass media was one source of information used by college students from Russia and CIS nations. However, concerns regarding the credibility of media led many to depend on multiple media channels for information. Other information sources included peers, family and health professionals.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs that African Americans in the Central Valley of California had concerning the topic of HIV/AIDS. The primary questions of this study were: 1) What factors do African Americans believe contribute to the HIV/AIDS epidemic? and 2) How do African Americans feel about a culturally specific HIV/AIDS prevention and sex education program? This study used a quantitative design and collected data by way of an electronic survey via Qualtrics and hard copy form. The survey consisted of forty-two questions that were divided into 5 specific parts: medical history, knowledge of HIV/AIDS and sex education, attitudes beliefs, and demographics. A total of fifty-nine participants, with an age range of 18 to 70+, completed the survey. In general, participants demonstrated knowledge on the topic of HIV/AIDS but had slightly conflicting attitudes and beliefs regarding testing and being aware of the HIV status of their partners. The results concluded that African Americans in the Central Valley believe that factors such as drugs, poverty, lack of sex education, stigma, limited access to health care, incarceration, racism and discrimination, are all daily issues that place African Americans at risk of becoming infected with HIV/AIDS. The results also show that a majority of participants have positive feelings towards the implementation of a cultural specific HIV/AIDS prevention and sex education program.
