IVA test coverage in Magelang district has not reached the target, especially in the at-risk group. The study aims to see the difference in utilization of IVA services in groups of mothers who are divided into at-risk and non-risk groups. The method used was quantitative method that uses a comparative design. The study population was all mothers aged 30-50 years in Magelang district. Respondents of each group were 68 people determined by proportional sampling technique. Univariate analysis with frequency distribution table and bivariate analysis with Mann-Whitney test because the data was not normally distributed. There was no difference in the utilization of IVA services between the at-risk and non-risk groups (p=0.205). However, it was statistically proven that the at-risk group had a better level of knowledge, attitude, and lifestyle, and felt more vulnerable and needed an IVA test than the non-risk group. Meanwhile, the non-risk group had better perceptions of accessibility and health worker support than the risk group. Risk factor mapping at the Health Center level needs to be done to develop needs-based interventions to increase IVA coverage.]]>
