摘要

HIV/AIDS incidence has been increasing in the Middle East region during last years, with low research on Jordanian populations knowledge in the transmission methods of it. This study examined the knowledge of Jordanian women aged 15–49 in HIV transmission methods using data from the 2017–18 Jordan Demographic and Health Survey with a sample of 14,689 women. Multiple logistic regression model was used to determine the factors predicting higher knowledge. Findings revealed that only 44.4% had above-average knowledge, indicating a knowledge gap. Regression analysis showed that education level, Internet use, and region of residence significantly predicted knowledge and attitudes. Higher education was strongly linked to better understanding (Odds ratio = 2.11; 95% Cl 1.69 to 2.64, compared to those who have no education). The study highlights the need for targeted educational initiatives, especially through digital platforms, and emphasizes focusing on less informed regions and pre-marital education to enhance awareness in HIV transmission methods.
