ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To determine the correlates of and willingness to participate(WTP) in HIV voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) among migrants in Shanxi province.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Through quota sampling, a total of 1280 migrants were recruited from 6 different venues where migrants were most likely employed to administer a face-to-face anonymous interview.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Knowledge of VCT among migrants was low. Only 56.6% of migrants had heard of HIV voluntary counseling and testing. 64.5% reported willingness to accept VCT after participants were informed that HIV counseling and testing was offered free of charge Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (48.7%), hospital (27.0%) and home (18.5%) were most preferred places for VCT service. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the willingness was associated with having a history of HIV test, having better knowledge of HIV, no discrimination against people with HIV, and high HIV/AIDS perception.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Community-based health education programs for improving HIV/AIDS knowledge, promoting acceptance of VCT and eliminating discrimination to HIV-infected persons were called for.</p>
