这项研究调查了布基纳法索艾滋病毒检测服务的利用情况，调查结合了14个选定地点和299份问卷的定量和定性数据。虽然男女对艾滋病毒检测的态度和行为相似，但我们发现男性使用服务的比例较低，女性对检测和披露的担忧更大，男女在检测动机、检测经历及其后果方面存在差异。在布基纳法索的背景下讨论了这些结果，并讨论了它们对改善获得艾滋病毒相关服务的努力的影响。(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
This study investigated the utilization of services around HIV testing in Burkina Faso through a survey that combined quantitative and qualitative data from 14 selected sites and 299 questionnaires. While some attitudes and behaviors towards HIV testing were similar for women and men, we found lower use of services by men, greater concerns about testing and disclosure on the part of women, and differences between men and women in motivations to test, and the experience of testing and its consequences. The results are discussed in the context of Burkina Faso and in terms of their implications for efforts to improve access to services around HIV. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
