The 2005 VPAIS survey obtained information on sexual behavior, and knowledge, attitudes, and behavior regarding HIV/AIDS. In addition, in Hai Phong province, the survey collected blood samples from survey respondents in order to estimate the prevalence of HIV.
The survey indicated that knowledge of AIDS in Vietnam is nearly universal. Ninety-three percent of women and 95 percent of men have heard of AIDS. Knowledge of AIDS varies dramatically by education.
Sexual activity outside of marriage is rare in Vietnam. One in three women and men age 15-49 has never had sexual intercourse. Only 8 percent of never married men report ever having had sex. Almost no never-married young women reported ever having sex. No women report having more than one sexual partner in the previous year. Twenty percent of young men used a condom the first time they had sex.
Five percent of the Vietnamese population has ever received an HIV test, and five percent of women report having had an STI in the previous year. An estimated 0.5 percent of adults age 15-49 in Hai Phong province are infected with HIV.
