Report on Progress towards Implementation of the UN Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS Knowledge of HIV/AIDS was also disaggregated by regions in the country for further identification of particular geographic areas requiring directed interventions. The report of the 2005 DHS shows that the level of comprehensive knowledge in both women and men is lowest in Somali Regional State (3.9% in women and 8.5% in men) and highest in Addis Ababa City Administration (50.1% in women and 53.8% in men). The knowledge score of women was generally lower than men across all regions of the country, and the variation of knowledge between urban and rural women—42.4% and 10%, respectively—was particularly large. Although Ethiopia has a generalized HIV epidemic, there are specific groups of the population that are at higher risk of acquiring and transmitting HIV. Recognizing this fact, Ethiopia has been conducting a periodic Behavioral Surveillance Survey (BSS) of target population groups such as youth, uniformed forces, female sex workers, truck drivers, teachers and industrial workers. Although there are no comparable reports from the 2002 BSS in Ethiopia, the 2005 BSS revealed that nearly one-third of in-school youth, female sex workers, truck drivers, teachers and road construction workers have comprehensive level of knowledge about HIV/AIDS 21 . Pastoralists have the lowest (8.9%) level of knowledge compared to other target population groups. Those in the uniformed services (police, ground and air forces) and factory workers have better comprehension in both correctly identifying ways of preventing the sexual transmission of HIV and rejecting the major misconceptions about HIV/AIDS. Amongst youth, those attending school have a higher level of comprehension (29.5%) than those out-of-school (17.2%). Though not exclusively mentioned, BSS 2005 has reported that the comprehensive knowledge of HIV/AIDS for male out-of school youth is 3.5 times greater than that of female out-of-school youth. 2.4.2.
