Logistic regression analyses of factors significantly associated with accidental exposure to BBFs in the last one year, attitude to HIV patients and HCT were done. Table 6 shows that the predictors of accidental exposure to BBFs in the last year. The main predictor of accidental exposure in the last year was working in surgical department, OR = 1.7, 95% CI (1.1–2.6). HCWs aged <40 years, OR = 5.5, 95% CI (1.9–15.9), who had worked for greater than five years, OR = 3.6, 95% CI (1.4–9.3) and working in nursing department, OR = 6.8, 95% CI (1.7–27.1) were more likely to report exposure to BBFs. Respondents in the nursing departments were more likely to require routine HIV test for all patients, OR = 3.9, 95% CI (2.4–6.2). HCWs in the laboratory departments were more likely to believe that HIV patients should be on separate wards compared to those in the medical departments OR = 3.6, 95% CI (1.9–7.0). Predictors for HCT uptake were age <40 years, OR = 1.6, 95% CI (1.1–2.4), having worked for greater than five years, OR = 1.5, 95% CI (1.03–2.2) and working in medical department, OR = 1.7, 95% CI (1.1–2.8).Table 6.Logistic regression analysis of socio-demographic and accidental exposure to BBFs, attitude to HIV patients and HCT uptake.
