    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the demographic characteristics of HIV-positive women of fertility age in Henan province and their knowledge and behavior in relation to AIDS. METHODS: A questionnaire survey was administered to 686 HIV-positive women of fertility age through face to face interview. The demographic characteristics of the respondents and their association with AIDS-related knowledge and behavior were analysed. RESULTS: Over 90% of respondents had good knowledge about AIDS. Statistically significant differences existed in the knowledge of AIDS and the use of condom among those with different age, education and income (P < 0.05). Age (OR < 1) and annual income (OR > 1) were identified as risk factors of failing to use condoms in regression analysis. CONCLUSION: Interventions need to be strengthened for HIV-positive women of fertility age, in particular for those who are young and have high incomes.
