Abstract
Our purpose in the study was to examine women's choice of strategies for improving utilization of HIV/AIDS screening. A-26-item questionnaire was used to gather data from a purposive sample of 1,052 women seeking care in three government hospitals in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Findings revealed that the strategies mostly accepted in order included the following: providing awareness on screening services; routine health education on screening services in health facilities and community; and integrating screening advocacy in all educational curricula. Chi-square analysis revealed that age and marital status significantly influenced women's choice of the strategies. The strategies were recommended for adoption in HIV/AIDS prevention programes in the state.
