Description
Summary:The HIV prevalence in Maputo city is 16.2%. There is a lack of data describing associated factors with disclosure or non-disclosure of HIV-positive sero-status to sexual partners. This analysis describes associated factors of non-disclosure of HIV sero-status to sexual partners among people living with HIV (PLHIV) participating in a serostatus disclosure support program at three health facilities in Maputo, Mozambique. We used a cross-sectional design of PLHIV aged over 18 years. Datas were collected between December 2019 and September 2020. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate factors associated of non-disclosure of HIV sero-status. A total of 377 patients were enrolled in the HIV sero-status disclosure Program. Of these, nearly two-thirds (61.5%) were women, 52.9% had completed secondary school, 47.7% were 25–34 years old, 50.9% had informal employment with low income, and 73.2% were married. Univariate logistic regression model showed greater odds of non-disclosure among patients who had an employment contract with a maximum wage (Crude Odds Ratio [cOR] 2.02, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.15–3.55, p  = 0.015); were single (cOR 3.85, 95% CI 2.22–6.69, p
