We examined the factors associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screening and developed a HIV screening prevalence surface map using spatial interpolation techniques to identify the geographical areas with the highest and lowest rates of HIV screening in Mozambique. We analyzed the cross-sectional 2015 Mozambique AIDS Indicator Surveys with an analytic sample of 12,995 participants. Analyses were conducted on SPSS-21, STATA-14, and R freeware 3.5.3. We adjusted for the sample design and population weights. Results indicated that 52.5% of Mozambicans had undergone HIV screening. Mozambicans with these characteristics have a higher probability of undergoing HIV screening: females, those with a primary education or higher, urban dwellers, residents of wealthy households, having at least one lifetime sexual partner, and dwelling in these provinces—Niassa, Tete, Manica, Sofala, Inhambane, Gaza, Maputo Provincia, and Maputo Cidade. The spatial map revealed that the national and regional estimates mask sub-regional level estimates. Generally, zones with the highest HIV screening prevalence are found in southern provinces while the lowest prevalence was found in the northern provinces. The map further revealed intraregional differences in HIV screening estimates. We recommend that HIV screening be expanded, with equitable screening resource allocations that target more nuanced areas within provinces which have a low HIV screening prevalence.

莫桑比克HIV筛查的协变量和空间插值:来自2015年AIDS指标调查的见解。

我们检查了与人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)筛查相关的因素,并使用空间插值技术开发了HIV筛查流行性表面图,以识别莫桑比克HIV筛查率最高和最低的地理区域。我们以12,995名参与者为样本,对2015年莫桑比克AIDS指标横断面进行了分析。对SPSS-21,STATA-14和R免费软件3.5.3进行了分析。我们针对样本设计和总体权重进行了调整。结果表明,莫桑比克人中有52.5%接受了HIV筛查。具有这些特征的莫桑比克人接受HIV筛查的可能性更高:女性,受过初等教育的人,城市居民,富有家庭的居民,至少有一个终身性伴侣,并居住在这些省份-尼萨(Niassa),太特(Tete),马尼卡(Manica),索法拉(Sofella),伊尼扬巴内(Inhambane),加沙(Gaza),马普托普罗文西亚(Maputo Provincia)和马普托西达德(Maputo Cidade)。空间图显示,国家和地区估算值掩盖了次地区级估算值。通常,南部省份的HIV筛查患病率最高,而北部省份的感染率最低。该图进一步揭示了HIV筛查估计值的区域内差异。我们建议扩大艾滋病毒的筛查范围,以公平的筛查资源分配为目标,以针对艾滋病毒筛查患病率较低的省内更多细微差别的地区。南部省份的艾滋病毒筛查流行率最高的地区,而北部省份的艾滋病毒感染率最低的地区。该图进一步揭示了HIV筛查估计值的区域内差异。我们建议扩大艾滋病毒的筛查范围,以公平的筛查资源分配为目标,以针对艾滋病毒筛查患病率较低的省内更多细微差别的地区。南部省份的艾滋病毒筛查流行率最高的地区,而北部省份的艾滋病毒感染率最低的地区。该图进一步揭示了艾滋病毒筛查估计值的区域内差异。我们建议扩大艾滋病毒的筛查范围,以公平的筛查资源分配为目标,以针对艾滋病毒筛查患病率较低的省内更多细微差别的地区。
