这项研究调查了乌干达15-59岁已婚男子自我报告的艾滋病毒检测率和预测因素以及检测意愿。这些数据具有全国代表性，来自2000- 2001年乌干达人口和健康调查。多元回归分析的结果表明，艾滋病知识，支付性行为的历史，有关艾滋病毒预防，中等或高等教育，家庭财富，和测试点的邻里知识的配偶沟通与艾滋病毒检测的可能性增加。过去3个月注射的频率越高，对学习如何帮助伴侣安全怀孕的兴趣越大，愿意进行艾滋病毒检测的可能性就越高。调查结果表明，自愿咨询和检测方案需要以30-59岁的已婚老年男子为目标，并将服务扩大到北方地区，在那里，以前未接受过检测的男子对艾滋病毒检测的愿望明显更高。
This study examined rates and predictors of self-reported HIV testing and willingness to test among married men aged 15-59 in Uganda. The data are nationally representative and drawn from the 2000-01 Uganda Demographic and Health Survey. The results of multiple regression analyses indicate that knowledge about AIDS, a history of paying for sex, spousal communication about HIV prevention, secondary or higher education, household wealth, and neighbourhood knowledge of a test site are associated with an increased likelihood of HIV testing. The higher the frequency of injection use in the past 3 months and the greater the level of interest in learning how to help one's partner have a safe pregnancy, the higher was the likelihood of willingness to test for HIV. Findings suggest that voluntary counselling and testing programmes need to target older married men aged 30-59 and expand services to the Northern region, where previously untested men indicated significantly higher desires of HIV testing.
