Abstract
Objective. To define the dominant behavioral strategy for HIV-infected patients during their visit to a physician and to study the influence of sociodemographic factors on its formation.
Materials and methods. The investigation was conducted via a questionnaire survey that involved 1083 HIV-infected patients who were followed up in the AIDS control centers of eight regions.
Results. Sociodemographic factors, such as education, marital status, gender, and age, have been found to have a statistically significant influence on the choice of the preferred behavioral strategy during the patient visit to a doctor in 6 of the 8 regions. Regional differences in the influence of sociodemographic factors are shown. Those are found in the choice of the preferred behavioral strategy when visiting a physician. By and large, in all the regions, only 40.2% of patients go to see their physician immediately after the onset of symptoms and 17.6% do this only when they realize that the situation is serious.
Conclusion. In the regions participating in the study, various sociodemographic factors have been found to influence the behavioral strategies during a visit to the physician, which must be taken into account when developing recommendations to improve adherence to treatment in each region.
