Abstract

Background: There currently is lack of knowledge about HIV TESTING practices in IRAN. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the prevalence of self-reported HIV TESTING and its associated factors among WOMEN.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Sanandaj City, located in the west of IRAN, in 2012. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaire including demographics characteristics and the main outcome variable was self-reported HIV TESTING. The univariate and multivariate logistic regression models using STATA software was used for data analysis.Results: A total of 1200 WOMEN were interviewed during the study (Response rate=87.5%). The mean age was 29.67 years (SD: 7.01 years), 49% were aged 28 years or younger, 39.2% were single, 16.9% were pregnant and 60% did not have academic education. The proportion of WOMEN that were HIV-tested was, 32.1% (CI 95%: 29.2%, 35.0%). HIV TESTING was associated with younger age, knowledge of HIV/AIDS, household wealth, pregnancy, academic education, occupation and duration time of occupation, rating of quality of HEALTH services and substance use history in her hus-band.Conclusion: The self-reported HIV TESTING rate among our sample WOMEN is 32.1%, lower than the HIV TESTING rate in other studies. Therefore, interventions to expand HIV TESTING and increase awareness of HIV risk are urgently needed in IRAN.
