| Abstract: | This study investigated the prevalence of intention to start antiretroviral therapy (ART) immediately among people living with HIV (PLWH) in China and associated perceptions toward ART based on behavioral theories. The study was initiated after the launch of an expanded ART strategy. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 450 PLWH who were ART naive in the city of Guangzhou, China, from June 2016 to February 2017. Among the participants, 311 (69.1%) showed intention to start ART immediately. The summary logistic regression analysis indicated that intention to start ART immediately was significantly associated with perceived severity [multivariate odds ratios (ORm) = 1.62, 95%CI = 1.15–2.28, p < 0.01], perceived barriers (ORm=0.56, 95%CI = 0.38–0.84, p < 0.01), self-efficacy (ORm=2.90, 95%CI = 2.05–4.09, p < 0.001), and subjective norms (ORm=1.95, 95%CI = 1.17–3.25, p < 0.05). The intention to start ART immediately among PLWH in Guangzhou was below the 90-90-90 target. Further promotion research should focus on these perceptional factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
