Abstract

Introduction: Young people worldwide are considered as the major group at risk of AIDS. Education and prevention is the primary priority of health care for control of AIDS.Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the level of knowledge and ATTITUDE of STUDENTS in Qom non-medical universities on AIDS.Methods: This study was conducted in 2012. This was a descriptive analytical study and samples included 588 STUDENTS from non-medical universities in Qom city who were selected by convenient sampling method. The self-administrated questionnaire included a demographic questionnaire and Iranian- version of international questionnaire on AIDS. Data were analyzed using statistical tests including Kruscal - Wallis, Chi-square, t-test, ANOVA and Spearman correlations.Results: Findings revealed that majority (76%) of subjects were female. 28.2% of samples received their knowledge about AIDS and its prevention ways from radio and television, 1.4% from friends and 2.6 from university sources. The mean scores of domains included transmission myths (28.34±4.73), ATTITUDEs or prejudices about AIDS patients (19.75±3.72), personal risk (10.19±2.28), facts on AIDS transmission (12±3.41) and total score (70.04±8.77). Study results indicated that girls had more knowledge and better ATTITUDE about people with HIV/ AIDS than boys (p<0.0001).Conclusion: Although study findings indicated that STUDENTS had almost high level of knowledge and ATTITUDE in relation to HIV/AIDS but this level of knowledge is not sufficient and STUDENTS need developed educational programs.
