HCWs in laboratory departments were more likely than those in the medical department to want HIV patients to be admitted on separate wards. HCWs in the laboratory departments are frequently involved in handling of specimens of BBFs and have a high level of perceived risk of contracting HIV. This may be the reason why they have this unfavorable attitude. This is a discriminatory attitude that could affect patient’s attendance at health centers for obtaining ARV and regular medical check-ups or adherence of patients to treatment plans (Famoroti et al., 2013; Omosanya et al., 2013). Though majority of HCWs will not refuse to treat PLWHA, 90% of them would want patients to be screened prior to surgical and obstetric procedures. This is similar to findings among HCWs in India where 90% of HCWs endorsed the practice of conducting mandatory HIV testing prior to surgery (Mahindra et al., 2007).
