Perception of high school students on risk for HIV and use of VCT service for HIV in Ethiopia

摘要

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)epidemic among youth is largely ignored and remains invisible to both young people themselves and to the society as a whole. Thus, the aim of the study was to assess the extent of HIV risk perception and utilization of voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) service among high school students at Debre-berhan Town, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia.
