Knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and practices related to AIDS among Montreal residents of Haitian origin. Abstract Text:

A Adrien,J F Boivin,Y Tousignant,C Hankins,

The authors used interviews from 268 patients to ascertain knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and practices related to AIDS among Montrealers of Haitian origin. Interviews were conducted between November 1987-October 1988 and questions queried general knowledge about the disease (prevention of AIDS, treatment, nature, and manifestations of the disease, screening, high-risk groups), and more specific questions on the modes of HIV-1 transmission. The average % of correct answers on general knowledge about AIDS was about 81%. The questions on HIV-1 transmission concerned both modes of infection that are scientifically established, and other modes that are not. The average % of correct answers to questions on scientifically recognized modes of infection was 94% and for those answers on those which are not scientifically accepted was 74%. The attitudes and beliefs of these Montrealers towards those with AIDS was only moderately favorable. Attitudes and beliefs toward condom promotion were, on the other hand, very positive. The % of subjects reporting male homosexuality or injection drug use was extremely small. 23% of subjects who had experienced sexual intercourse reported that they had 2 or more partners in the 12 months preceding the survey.
