A STUDY OF THE PREVALENCE OF HIV/AIDS USING CANONICAL CORRELATION ANALYSIS (A CASE STUDY OF GENERAL HOSPITAL MINNA)

ABSTRACT

This research aimed at fitting the canonical correlation model that is capable of determining whether literacy level, age, marital status and gender are risk factors for HIV/AIDs. The data used is obtained from Heart to Heart centre situated in General Hospital Minna, Niger State in June 2013. The Statistical package used to analyze the data is NCSS (Number Cruncher Statistical System) 2007 package and the result shows that the first set of variables measured the correlation of 0.2972 with the proportion of variability of 50.7% and the second set measured the correlation of 0.1412 with the proportion of variability of 49.3% . Hence, concluded that marital status and gender are risk factors of HIV/AIDs and implies that the prevalence of HIV/AIDS is higher among the married men. I finally recommended that there is a need for the government to enact a law that will make it mandatory for the two partners to undergo the HIV/AIDS test.
