Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals gaps in knowledge and attitudes toward noncommunicable diseases among PLHIV, suggesting the need for health education interventions.

Key Points

  • Low awareness and practices regarding noncommunicable diseases were noted among people living with HIV.
  • Only 57.1% reported routine health check-ups, highlighting gaps in health-seeking behaviours.
  • Higher education levels significantly improved knowledge about noncommunicable diseases and risk factors.
  • Health education interventions are essential to enhance awareness and preventive practices among PLHIV.
