dc.description.abstract | Bodaboda operators in the transport sector are a bridge population that gets in contact with both the
general population and the key population. This places them at a greater risk of HIV and AIDs acquisition. Due
to their high mobility, it makes it difficult to acquire and use HIV prevention measures appropriately. However,
this population’s service utilization is not known. The study used the theory of reasoned action due to the fact that
it sees a person’s behavior as an intention which is a function of one’s attitude towards the behavior and their
subjective norm. The study targeted male bodaboda operators who were aged between 20-40 years. The sample
size for the study was 122. Findings from the thematic analysis showed medical pluralism among the operators,
low condom use at last sexual intercourse and stigma and discrimination when acquiring and using HIV
preventive services. Myths and misconceptions regarding HIV preventive service utilization were ranked the
highest (21.3%) while provider attitude was ranked the lowest (2.78%) challenges/barriers towards acquiring and
using these services. The study recommends to the CACC through NACC to formulate user-friendly information
to reach the operators who in many cases have limited time to attend training on correct use and benefits of these
preventive measures. | en_US |
