“…Although Pakistan is a low HIV prevalence country, however, the IDUs are playing a vital role in HIV transmission (Strathdee et al, 2010). Since the first HIV epidemic among PWIDs in Larkana (Shah et al, 2004), HIV-1 has now become well established in PWIDs across the country and despite of various precautionary efforts, the epidemics have relatively expanded among PWIDs with the passage of time (Ali et al, 2017). A strong association was also observed in PWID involved in sexual activities because after sharing needles the major route of HIV transmission is sexual transmission for possible spread of disease among population of large geography (Ball et al, 2019;Conrad et al, 2015;Stone et al, 2018).…”

This study examines the treatment motivation, stigma, and disclosure in 287 HIV-infected patients in Pakistan. Four validation scales were applied to assess treatment motivation, stigma and disclosure of patients. The results showed that female patients had significantly higher levels of stigma and disclosure than male patients. Unmarried patients had significantly higher levels of stigma and disclosure than married patients. Moreover, the treatment motivation significantly positively correlated with self-disclosure. Stigma significantly positively correlated with disclosure. Stigma and self-disclose could predicate the treatment motivation. The study concluded that female and unmarried patients with HIV positive had more stigma and disclosure. Stigma, and disclosure affect the treatment motivation of patients with HIV positive.

The number of new human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cases is increasing in Pakistan while it has seen a decline globally. A survey conducted recently has found that 132,000 people in Pakistan suffer from HIV. This study aims to check the levels of knowledge and attitudes about HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) among medical and dental students.This cross-sectional study was designed and conducted at Combined Military Hospital Lahore Medical College and the Institute of Dentistry (CMH LMC) in Lahore, Pakistan in 2016. Students enrolled in the courses of the MBBS and BDS were included in this study. The questionnaire consisted of three sections: demographics, knowledge and attitude.A total of 414 students completed the questionnaire and out of them, 286 were medical students while the rest were dental students. The mean ± standard deviation score for the students was 10.02 ± 4.37 out of 17 for knowledge related to HIV and AIDS. For acceptable attitude towards AIDS and patients afflicted with the disease, an outcome of 1.93 ± 0.75 out of 4 was observed.The results of this study indicate lack of knowledge about HIV, especially about the modes of transmission and prevention techniques. Therefore, regular interactive workshops and seminars, besides teaching sessions, focused lectures on HIV/AIDS, need to be conducted.
