Abstract

Introduction: DISCLOSURE of HIV status is one of the important factors in prevention and control of HIV. The aim of this study was to determine Pattern of HIV-status DISCLOSURE and perceived SOCIAL SUPPORT among people with HIV.Methods: From the patients, who refer to behavioral counseling centers 116 people were randomly selected. Norbeck self administration questionnaire was used to assess their SOCIAL SUPPORT. DISCLOSURE of HIV status was assessed with two questions. Results: The mean age of the participants was 36.7 (SD=7.7) years. 72.4% of them were male and 27.6% female. The mean of CD4 count was 278.9 (SD=161.4). 42.2% of participants were infected through sexual relationship, 44% were infected through injection with a syringe (Drug abusers), 13.8%, were infected through other ways. Among the participants, 62.1% disclosed their HIV status. In the logistic regression analysis, age, sex, number of CD4, education higher than high school diploma and functional SOCIAL SUPPORT showed significant associations with DISCLOSURE.Conclusion: The findings highlight that over half of participants disclosed their infection. Less DISCLOSURE by women can be due to public attitude toward HIV. Functional SOCIAL SUPPORT is an important factor for the DISCLOSURE of HIV infection. Then, it is necessary to pay more attention to educational programs for persons with HIV and their social network.
