为了提供信息并加强针对文化的艾滋病毒围产期预防，我们评估了南卡罗来纳州农村地区接受产前护理的拉丁裔孕妇的艾滋病毒知识。我们实施了包含 11 项的艾滋病毒知识量表（n = 171）。正确回答 11 个项目中的 8 个 (73%) 的女性被归类为具有“高”知识； <8 条正确的项目被归类为“低”知识。 76% 的参与者对艾滋病毒的了解较低；只有 37% 的人知道有药物可以预防艾滋病毒母婴传播。在多变量分析中，与仅受过小学教育的女性相比，受过高中以上教育的女性更有可能具有较高的艾滋病毒知识（调整优势比 10.5，95% 置信区间 3.3-33.6）。这些发现强调需要采取有针对性的教育干预措施，以便更好地告知拉丁裔有关围产期艾滋病毒预防和传播风险的信息。加强与患者和提供者的努力符合预防艾滋病毒和消除围产期传播的国家目标。
To inform and strengthen culturally-tailored HIV perinatal prevention, we assessed HIV knowledge among pregnant Latinas receiving prenatal care in rural South Carolina. We administered an 11 item HIV knowledge scale (n = 171). Women who answered 8 of 11 (73 %) items correctly were categorized as having “high” knowledge; <8 items correct was categorized as “low” knowledge. Seventy-six percent of participants had low HIV knowledge; only 37 % knew that there is medicine to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission. In multivariate analyses, high HIV knowledge was more likely among women who had ≥high school education compared with women with elementary school education only (Adjusted Odds Ratio 10.5, 95 % Confidence Interval 3.3–33.6). These findings highlight the need for targeted educational interventions to better inform Latinas regarding perinatal HIV prevention and transmission risks. Enhancing efforts with patients and providers is aligned with national goals for HIV prevention and elimination of perinatal transmission.
