Knowledge, attitudes and practices of condom use in a time of highly active antiretroviral therapy in a rural area in UgandaKabikira, Fredrick 11 1900 (has links)
Antiretroviral drugs were introduced into Uganda during the past decade and
have revolutionised the treatment of AIDS. However, in as much as success was
recorded, new challenges emerged. One such challenge was the continued use
of condoms. This study investigated existing knowledge, attitudes and practices
of condom use in a time of highly active antiretroviral therapy in a rural area. A
quantitative, cross sectional design, with probability sampling form the general
population was utilised. A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect data
which was then analysed at the descriptive statistics level. The results indicated
that: knowledge of HIV, its transmission, condoms and antiretroviral drugs were
high among the respondents; condom acceptance and use were low; and
respondents would not intentionally engage in unprotected sexual intercourse
because of availability of ARVs. However it was acknowledged that some people
taking ARVs have engaged in risky sexual behaviours that would expose others
to infection. / Health Studies / M.A. (Public Health)
