Abstract |
|
|
| Several studies have been performed to discuss about HIV/AIDS in high prevalence states but these studies have not dealt
with differentials by place of residence. Through this paper an attempt has to be made to assess the urban rural differentials in knowledge
and awareness about HIV/AIDS and attitude towards PLWHA among men. The present study has utilized data fromMens file of NFHSIII,
as for the first time NFHS has provided information on various issues related to men and their behavior. For the current analysis
the state of Maharashtra and UP are selected. The determinants of above outcome measures are examined through logistic regression
models using selected background variables, e.g. age, place of residence, level of education, marital status, occupation, mass media
exposure, and wealth index. |
