University student's Perception, Knowledge, Attitude and Social distance for People living with
HIV/AIDS

Abstract:

This study aims to investigate attitudes, knowledge, and views of AIDS as well as factors linked to social
distance for AIDS-affected individuals. 645 college students studying in social work and nursing had their
data examined. The findings indicate that the word "sex" was most commonly linked to AIDS. Second,
typical mistakes in infection prevention and process were indicated by participant understanding of AIDS.
Third, there was a statistically significant relationship between discrimination against AIDS-affected
individuals and social minorities. Using hierarchical regression analysis, it was finally shown that only
prejudice against AIDS-affected individuals remained statistically significant among the factors impacting
their social distance. The model's overall R Square was changed to 0.390. To sum up, the outcomes of The
results of this study should have an impact on program development and college education.

KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HIV AND DISCRIMINATORY ATTITUDES TOWARD

PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV IN PAKISTAN

Abstract:

There is not much data on public opinion towards PLHIV in Pakistan or HIV awareness in the general
population. In order to assess the impact of HIV knowledge on discriminatory attitudes towards PLHIV in
Pakistan and investigate their correlation with socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, a
secondary analysis of data from the PDHS 2012–13 was conducted.

The research included all married individuals between the ages of 15 and 49 who had ever heard of AIDS.
For analysis, three groups of variables reflecting the discriminating attitude and composite knowledge
were created and recorded.

The findings imply that in order to lessen HIV stigma and prevent discriminatory attitudes, Pakistani
society has to learn more about HIV/AIDS.
