The aim of this study was to examine the trends and determinants of knowledge and awareness
of HIV/AIDS among women in urban and rural areas of Bangladesh. This study used data from the 2014
Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS). A binary logistic regression model was employed
to detect potential risk factors (covariates) associated the outcome variable. While women’s HIV/AIDS knowledge
in rural areas has shown an increasing trend over the years in which the survey has been conducted, a narrow
decline in HIV/AIDS knowledge was observed among women in urban areas in recent years. Education
and mass media have played the major role in spreading knowledge about HIV/AIDS among women in both
urban and rural areas. Since rural women’s HIV/AIDS knowledge score was relatively lower than that of urban
women, awareness raising through mass media should focus especially on rural areas.
