Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Knowledge and Stigma: Findings from a Cross-sectional Survey.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Objective: People living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) encounter HIV stigma that hinders HIV testing and subsequently linkage to care. This study evaluates the relationship between HIV stigma and awareness of HIV testing, drugs to prevent mother-to-child transmission (MTCT), antiretroviral (ARV) drugs, and HIV knowledge score among Filipino women. Methods: We utilized data of women aged 15-49 ( Results: Approximately 65.7% of women reported HIV stigma. The logistic regression results indicated lower odds of HIV stigma among women who know test kits but never tested for HIV with test kits (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.87), those who heard about drugs to prevent MTCT (aOR = 0.75), and those who heard about ARV drugs (aOR = 0.85) compared to their counterparts. Higher odds of HIV stigma were observed among women currently in union (aOR = 1.46) and rural residents (aOR = 1.54) compared to their counterparts. Among women aged 15-24, having a higher HIV knowledge score, especially among those who scored 5, had lower odds of having HIV stigma (aOR = 0.04) than those who achieved a zero knowledge score. All Conclusion and Global Health Implications: Findings suggest an urgent need to address stigma among women, especially those who lack knowledge of HIV test kits and ARV drugs. Further research should explore strategies to reduce HIV stigma, especially among young married rural women.
