Since appropriate health behavior is the result of adequate KNOWLEDGE and ATTITUDE, this study was performed on COUPLES, referring to Kerman pre-marriage counseling center, to determine their KNOWLEDGE and ATTITUDE towards AIDS and its related factors.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 1020 COUPLES participated. Data was collected using a questionnaire concerning demographic information, and including 22 questions about KNOWLEDGE and 10 items about ATTITUDEs.Results: According to our findings, the COUPLES’ KNOWLEDGE level was excellent in 40.1%, good in 37.4%, moderate in 20% and poor in 2.6%. The ATTITUDE was excellent in 58.4%, good in 33.5%, moderate in 7.1% and poor in 1.1%. There was a significant relationships between KNOWLEDGE and ATTITUDE with age, educational status and career using Chi-square test (P=0.0001 in all cases) in a way that those with higher educational levels, in age group between 16 to 35 years old and employees had better KNOWLEDGE and a more positive ATTITUDE. There was also a significant relationship between the ATTITUDE and sex (P=0.0001); male participants showed a more positive ATTITUDE compared with women. Among sources of KNOWLEDGE, radio and TV were the most frequently mentioned ones (59.9%).Conclusion: Our results suggest that TV and radio are the most frequent information resources so improving their related educational programs according to addressed group is necessary.
