Sociodemographic predictors of beliefs about getting HIV infection by witchcraft or supernatural means: A population-based study of 15335 Senegalese women

2024Open accessMinia University

Abstract

We demonstrated many predictors of the wrong beliefs about getting HIV infection by witchcraft or supernatural means in the Senegalese women. Policymakers should initiate health educational programs in parallel with increasing the socioeconomic status to limit the HIV transmission. In addition, continuous monitoring of the HIV knowledge in the endemic countries is crucial to decrease HIV burden.
