| dc.description.abstract | HIY / AfDS has become the serious health, economic, social and in general development problem worldwide. The epid emic is unique in its coverage of people from al l racial groups, languages, genders, econo mi c and academic status and the like. Most past studies and researches in Ethiopia regarding the epidemic focused on awareness of people towards HIY, knowledge about condom di stribution, pattern of condom distribution, knowledge of sexual behavior on HIY/ AfDS and Sexually Transmitted Diseases, sexual violence and some re lated areas. But, to institute meaningful preventive measures for the control of HIY/AIDS, in addition to what have been done so far, there is a need to address the diversity of ep idem ics and make the prevention acti vity evidence informed through accurate epidemiological and behavioral information. This study was aimed to exp lore evidences about the existence of HIY infection with some selected explanatory variabl es. A sample of 1461 cases, who volu ntarily tested for HIY was taken from several Yoluntary Counseling and Testing centers in Awassa city. According to the findings of the stud y, there is evidence showing the presence of significant associations between HIY infection and explanatory variables like age, gender, marital status, occupation and educat ional level of individuals. This study reveals that the epidemic is almost evenly distributed through a ll religious groups and all the residence areas (urban and rural). Moreover, groups of people who are at a hig her risk ofHIY infection are identified in this study. | en_US |
