ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar la asociación entre el conocimiento de las mujeres peruanas acerca del VIH con sus actitudes frente a las personas con VIH y sus características socio demográficas. Métodos: Análisis secundario de la Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar (ENDES) del año 2011. El conocimientos sobre VIH se evaluó mediante cinco preguntas: ¨se puede reducir el riesgo teniendo solo una pareja sexual?, ¨usando siempre condón?, ¨una persona saludable puede tener VIH?, ¨se puede contraer el VIH por besos y abrazos?, ¨por utensilios? Se consideró conocimiento adecuado si se contestó correctamente las cinco preguntas (directrices para el Desarrollo de Indicadores Básicos para el seguimiento de la Declaración Política sobre VIH/SIDA). La actitudes frente a personas infectadas se evaluaron mediante seis preguntas: si niño(a) tiene infección por VIH, ¨se le debe permitir asistir a la escuela o colegio? si un médico tiene infección por VIH, ¨se le debe permitir que siga con su trabajo en el establecimiento de salud? si una persona tiene infección por VIH y necesita operarse, ¨deben permitirle la operación?; ¨compraría vegetales de un vendedor con SIDA?; si un profesor tiene infección por VIH, ¨se le debe permitir seguir impartiendo clases en la escuela, colegio o universidad? Los análisis fueron realizados empleando el procedimiento de ponderación establecido por el INEI. Resultados: La pregunta sobre conocimiento mejor respondida fue la referida al uso del condón para disminuir el riesgo de contagio (86.5 por ciento), mientras que el 35.2 p respondió erróneamente que se puede contraer el VIH al compartir utensilios con una persona infectada...


Objective: To determine the association between the Peruvian women's knowledge about HIV and her attitudes towards the people with HIV, and the socio-demographic features. Methods: Secondary analysis of the Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES in espanish) 2011. The knowledge about HIV was measured with five questions: can the risk of contracting HIV be reduced by having only one sexual partner?, by using condom? A person who seems healthy, can have HIV? Can HIV be contracted by kisses and hugs?, by utensils? It was considered an adequate knowledge if the woman answered correctly the five questions (Guidelines on construction of core indicators for monitoring the political declaration of HIV/AIDS). The attitudes towards people with HIV was evaluated through six questions: if a child have HIV infection, should he or she be allowed to go to the school?; if a doctor have HIV infection, should he or she be allowed to continue working in a health center?; if a person with HIV need a surgery, should he or she be allowed to have the surgery?; would you buy vegetables from a seller with AIDS?; if a teacher have HIV infection, should he or she continue giving classes in the school, college or university? Every analysis was done using the weights established by the Statistics and Informatics National Institute (INEI). Results: The question about knowledge best answered was the one about using condom to reduce the risk of infection (86.5 percent), while 35.2 percent answered that HIV can be contracted by sharing utensils with a person infected. Only 38.9 percent answered correctly the five questions about knowledge. The best attitudes were observed in the scenario of a person with HIV who need a surgery and about the decision of firing an infected person, while the worst attitudes were observed about allowing a doctor with HIV to continue working and buying vegetables to a seller with AIDS...
