Clinical Trial Summary
This is a cross-sectional research. The Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) was applied as
theoretical framework to analyze correlation of prevention knowledge, prevention intentions
and anxiety, and prevention behavior of COVID-19 and HIV risk feature and behavior and stigma
of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), and HIV high-risk groups. Purposive and snowball
sampling will be applied to recruit participant who visit hospital, HIV/AIDS related
institutions, and social media platforms. The investigators expect that the outcome could
reveal the relationship of cognition and attitude of COVID-19 to HIV prevention and
treatment.
Description:
The prevention strategies can effectively block the spread of Coronavirus disease
(Coronavirus disease 19; COVID-19), and at the same time may indirectly reduce or increase
the risk behaviors and factors of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and sexually transmitted
comorbidities. The main purpose of this research is to apply the Protection Motivation Theory
(PMT) as the framework to analyze COVID-19 prevention knowledge, COVID-19 prevention
intentions and anxiety level, and COVID-19 prevention behavior and HIV risk behavior and risk
factors of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and HIV high-risk groups. The cross-sectional
research method was adopted, and the subjects included the northern, central, southern, and
eastern regions of Taiwan.About 1100 PLWHA and 1100 high-risk groups will be recruited. The
information of recruitment will be disseminated through the AIDS designated medical
institutions and related institutions, and social media, Snowball recruitment of interviewees
will also be used. After completing the online questionnaire, the structural equation
modeling (SEM) will be applied to test the good of fit of the theory model and to explain the
structural relationship between COVID-19 prevention knowledge, attitudes, behaviors and HIV
risk factors. The relationship with the above variables and stigma also been discussed. In
addition to verifying the theories proposition of PMT, the research results also contribute
to the prevention and treatment of HIV high-risk groups, and provide important references for
prevention strategies for susceptible groups during the epidemic of emerging infectious
diseases in the future.
