Authors : Johnson. O. Fatokun

Abstract: Research reports show that about 70% of all those with HIV (AIDS) world wide live there. As fight against HIV (AIDS) increase worldwide, it is noteworthy that global number of people living with HIV continues to rise. In this study, a statistical model here describes the association between HIV infection mobility/spread and the predictor variables. The Strength of association between were summarized using Odd Ratios (OR) and corresponding 95% Confidence Interval (CI). Secondary data was collected from HIV Testing Centres in Jos and descriptive statistics of the sample were obtained through frequencies and cross tabulations. STATA was used for data analysis and to evaluate the values of the parameters a multivariate logistic regression model was formulated using the multiple-factors of HIV/AIDS prevalence among sex Age and marital Status.
