Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a major global public health issue, affecting millions of people annually. University students are among the risk groups in the community because of their high-risk behaviors. Few studies have been conducted on HIV/AIDS preventive behaviors and associated factors among university students. Therefore, focusing on these target populations is crucial because it will help university managers and different stakeholders be informed about the burden of the problem and take different measures to halt the distribution of the infection.
UNASSIGNED: To assess the predictors of HIV/AIDS preventive behaviors among undergraduate Health Science University students in Northwest Ethiopia in 2022.
UNASSIGNED: This study used an institution-based cross-sectional design with a single-population proportion formula, and participants were selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data were entered into Epi Data version 4.6.0.2 and exported to SPSS version 26 for cleaning and analysis, and the results were presented using text, graphs, pie charts, percentages, and frequencies. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used, and variables with a p-value of ≤0.25 in the bivariate analysis were entered into the multivariable analysis. A p-value of less than or equal to 0.05 in the multivariable analysis was considered statistically significant.
UNASSIGNED: Out of 287 study participants, 284 of them responded completely, with a response rate of 99.0 %. Among the total respondents, 42.3 % (95 % CI: 37.7, 47.8) of the participants had poor HIV/AIDS preventive behavior. Younger age (AOR: 3.05; 95 % CI (1.243, 7.496)), low perceived susceptibility (AOR: 2.12; 95 % CI (1.179, 3.809), low perceived severity (AOR: 3.00; 95 % CI (1.636, 5.509)), high perceived barriers (AOR: 2.78; 95 % CI (1.487, 5.202)), and having poor HIV/AIDS preventive knowledge (AOR: 3.87; 95 % CI (2.170, 6.919)) were significantly associated with poor HIV/AIDS preventive behaviors.
UNASSIGNED: The HIV/AIDS preventive behavior of participants in this study was poor. Young age, low perceived susceptibility, low perceived severity, high perceived barriers, and poor HIV/AIDS preventive knowledge were predictors of poor HIV/AIDS preventive behavior. It is better to design strategies and programs by the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, university top managers, and other stakeholders to provide appropriate information and focus on behavioral changes in vulnerable population groups.

摘要：
■人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）感染是一个重大的全球性公共卫生问题，每年影响数百万人。大学生由于其高风险行为而成为社区中的风险群体。关于大学生艾滋病预防行为及相关因素的研究较少。因此,关注这些目标人群至关重要，因为这将有助于大学管理人员和不同的利益相关者了解问题的负担，并采取不同的措施来阻止感染的分布。
■评估2022年埃塞俄比亚西北部卫生科学大学本科生的HIV/AIDS预防行为的预测因素。
■本研究采用基于机构的横截面设计，采用单人口比例公式，参与者是使用简单随机抽样技术选择的。数据被输入到EpiData版本4.6.0.2，并导出到SPSS版本26进行清理和分析。结果用文字呈现，graphs,饼图,百分比,和频率。使用双变量和多变量逻辑回归分析，双变量分析中p值≤0.25的变量被输入多变量分析.多变量分析中小于或等于0.05的p值被认为具有统计学意义。
■在287名研究参与者中，其中284人完全回应，有效率为99.0%。在所有受访者中，42.3％（95％CI：37.7，47.8）的参与者具有较差的HIV/AIDS预防行为。年龄较小（AOR：3.05；95%CI（1.243，7.496）），低感知易感性（AOR：2.12；95%CI（1.179，3.809），低感知严重程度（AOR：3.00；95%CI（1.636，5.509）），高感知障碍(AOR：2.78；95%CI(1.487，5.202))，HIV/AIDS预防知识差(AOR:3.87;95%CI(2.170,6.919))与HIV/AIDS预防行为差显著相关。
■本研究参与者的HIV/AIDS预防行为较差。年轻的年龄,低感知易感性，低感知严重性，高感知障碍，HIV/AIDS预防知识差是HIV/AIDS预防行为差的预测因素。最好由卫生部设计战略和方案，教育部,大学高层管理人员,和其他利益相关者提供适当的信息，并关注弱势群体的行为变化。
