People living with undiagnosed HIV are big contributors to the transmission of the virus. Although measures have been made to scale up HIV prevention and voluntary counselling and testing in sub-Saharan Africa, testing coverage remains low in many sub-Saharan African countries, including Mozambique and Kenya, where most people live with HIV/AIDS. Studies have shown that, in most countries in sub-Saharan Africa, men are less likely to test for HIV compared with women. This study examined the relationship between comprehensive HIV/AIDS knowledge and HIV testing among men in Kenya and Mozambique. Data were from the men’s re-code file of the Demographic and Health Surveys of Mozambique and Kenya. Binary logistic regression models were generated and the results presented as crude odds ratios (cOR) and adjusted odds ratios (aOR). The prevalences of HIV testing in Kenya and Mozambique were 80.1% and 46.7%, respectively. Men in Mozambique who had comprehensive HIV/AIDS knowledge (aOR=1.26, CI: 1.07–1.47) were more likely to test for HIV compared with their counterparts who had no comprehensive HIV/AIDS knowledge. In Kenya, men who had comprehensive HIV/AIDS knowledge (aOR=1.23, CI: 1.09–1.39) were more likely to test for HIV compared with their counterparts who had no comprehensive HIV/AIDS knowledge. This study found a statistically strong significant association between comprehensive HIV/AIDS knowledge and HIV testing among men in Kenya and Mozambique. To improve HIV testing rate among men, it is important that interventions are geared towards improving men’s comprehensive HIV/AIDS knowledge, perhaps by expanding HIV/AIDS education programmes and campaigns. This could improve HIV testing rates and ensure the realization of the global HIV/AIDS target of 95-95-95 by the year 2030.

未确诊的艾滋病毒携带者是病毒传播的重要因素。尽管已采取措施扩大撒哈拉以南非洲的艾滋病毒预防和自愿咨询和检测，但在许多撒哈拉以南非洲国家，包括大多数人感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的莫桑比克和肯尼亚，检测覆盖率仍然很低。研究表明，在撒哈拉以南非洲的大多数国家，男性检测艾滋病毒的可能性低于女性。本研究探讨了肯尼亚和莫桑比克男性艾滋病毒/艾滋病综合知识与艾滋病毒检测之间的关系。数据来自莫桑比克和肯尼亚人口与健康调查的男性重新编码文件。生成二元逻辑回归模型，结果以粗比值比 (cOR) 和调整比值比 (aOR) 表示。肯尼亚和莫桑比克的艾滋病毒检测流行率分别为 80.1% 和 46.7%。与没有全面艾滋病毒/艾滋病知识的男性相比，具有全面艾滋病毒/艾滋病知识的莫桑比克男性（aOR=1.26，CI：1.07-1.47）更有可能检测艾滋病毒。在肯尼亚，与没有全面 HIV/AIDS 知识的男性相比，具有全面 HIV/AIDS 知识的男性（aOR=1.23，CI：1.09-1.39）更有可能检测 HIV。这项研究发现，在肯尼亚和莫桑比克的男性中，全面的艾滋病毒/艾滋病知识与艾滋病毒检测之间存在统计学上的显着关联。为了提高男性的艾滋病毒检测率，干预措施必须着眼于提高男性对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的综合知识，或许可以通过扩大艾滋病毒/艾滋病教育计划和运动来实现。
