XII. HIV/AIDS Knowledge bout HIV Trnsmission nd Misconceptions bout HIV One of the most importnt prerequisites for reducing the rte of HIV infection is ccurte knowledge of how HIV is trnsmitted nd strtegies for preventing the trnsmission. Correct informtion is the first step towrds rising wreness nd giving dolescents nd young people the tools to protect themselves from the infection. Misconceptions bout HIV re common nd cn confuse dolescents nd young people nd hinder prevention efforts. The UN Generl Assembly Specil Session on HIV/AIDS (UNGASS) clled on governments to improve the knowledge nd skills of young people to protect themselves from HIV. The indictors to mesure this gol s well s the MDG of reducing HIV infections by hlf include improving the level of knowledge of HIV nd its prevention, nd chnging behviours to prevent further spred of the disese. HIV module ws dministered to ever mrried women 5-49 yers of ge. It my be noted tht the questions in this module often refer to the AIDS virus. This terminology is used strictly s method of dt collection to id respondents, preferred over the correct terminology of HIV tht is used here in reporting the results, where pproprite. One indictor which is both n MDG nd the Globl AIDS Response Progress Reporting (GARPR; formerly UNGASS) is the percentge of young women who hve comprehensive nd correct knowledge of HIV prevention nd trnsmission. This is defined s ) knowing tht consistent use of condom during sexul intercourse nd hving just one uninfected fithful husbnd cn reduce the chnce of getting HIV, 2) knowing tht helthy-looking person cn hve HIV, nd 3) rejecting the two most common locl misconceptions bout trnsmission/prevention of HIV. In the MICS Punjb, 204 ll ever-mrried women who hve herd of AIDS were sked questions on ll three components nd the results re detiled in Tble HA..Due to culturl sensitivities round tlking to unmrried women bout issues relting to sexul behvior nd the possibility tht this my compromise survey tem sfety nd increse survey non-response, the HIV module ws only dministered to ever-mrried women. In Punjb, 39 percent of the ever mrried women ge 5-49 yers hve herd of AIDS, higher in urbn (60%) thn in rurl res (28%). However, the percentge of women who know of both min wys of preventing HIV trnsmission using condom every time during sexul intercourse nd hving only one fithful uninfected husbnd is only 6 percent. About 24 percent of women know of hving one fithful uninfected husbnd nd 20 percent know bout using condom every time s min wys of preventing HIV trnsmission. More thn hlf of women hve herd of AIDS in Rwlpindi division compred to just over one in ten women in DG Khn division (52% nd 4%). AIDS wreness is very low (only 8%) mong women living in the households in the lowest quintile compred to 76 percent of women living in the households in the highest quintile. Similrly, wreness is low mong women from rurl res (28%) nd women with pre-school or no eduction (4%) compred to those from urbn res (60%) nd women with higher eduction (94%). P g e 8
