Abstract
The study examined the community involvement in the control and
management of HIV/AIDS in the implementation of national
reproductive health plan in Plateau State. Community involvement,
control and management constitute the dependent variables. While the
demographic characteristics of age, gender, religion, marital status,
location, ethnicity, educational qualification and income level constitutes
the independent variables. As the information required to achieve this
study was already available, ex-post facto research design (nonexperimental)
was used. In this design a questionnaire was developed and
administered on a selected sample. The information thus collected was
statistically analyzed to test the hypotheses of the study. Purposive
sampling technique was used in each of the 3 voluntary counseling and
testing centres of each senatorial district in the state. To achieve this
study, a questionnaire with 43 statements in 3 sections was developed. A
total of three hundred (300) subjects were selected at random from three
(3) senatorial districts of Plateau State, to serve as the respondents
(population) in the study. Out of the 300, 287 respondents returned their
questionnaires. They included women group, religious and youth groups.
The data thus collected was statistically analyzed using descriptive
statistics to test the hypotheses of the study in the involvement of the
communities in the control and management of HIV/AIDS. The results
are revealed below:
1. The involvement of communities in plateau state in the control of
HIV/AIDS was not significant.
2. The involvement of communities in plateau state in the
management of HIV/AIDS was not significant.
3. The involvement of communities in the different senatorial district
of the state in their control of HIV/AIDS was not significant.
4. The involvement of communities in the different senatorial
districts of the state in their management of HIV/AIDS was
significant.
