Abstract:
Objective To investigate the status and influencing factors of knowledge,attitude and practice(KAP) about AIDS among the migrant miners in a nonferrous metal company of Anhui Province and to provide evidence for constituting strategies and measures for AIDS health education and behavioural intervention.Methods 303 migrant miners in a nonferrous metal company were surveyed.Univariate analysis,Logistic regression and correlation analysis were used to explore their influencing factors.Results The general rate of awareness of AIDS was 87.9%,and the main factor affecting miners knowledge level of AIDS was their educational level.Only 55.1% of migrant miners thought people with AIDS should not be isolated;50.8% of them would like to contact people with HIV;38.0% did not object to extramarital sex.There were 32(10.6%) migrant miners admitting having had extramarital sex in the recent three months,but 11(34.4%) admitted never having used condoms,only 7(21.9%) having used each time.Multivariate analysis identified the influencing factors for condom utilization including age and attitude to people with HIV/AIDS.Conclusions ①The migrant miners have sufficient knowledge about AIDS.②The traditional sexual beliefs are changing,and an increasing number of people are tolerant to extramarital sex.Consequently,it is likely that extramarital sex might rise.③The promotion of condom use should be strengthened.
