2026Open accessUniversity of Hargeisa

Abstract

Inadequate awareness about HIV/AIDS was associated with education, residence and mass media exposure. Targeted health education programmes, promoting women's education status and media campaigns could help improve HIV/AIDS awareness, which in turn enables reproductive age women to take protective measures against exposure.
