Assessing the perception and BEHAVIORS may facilitate for clarifying and planning to reduce the incidence of the risky BEHAVIORS. This study aimed to investigate the perception and the BEHAVIORS of the HIV/AIDS PATIENTS.Methods: This qualitative study conducted in Counseling Behavior Center of Imam Khomeini Hospital for ten months. Data were obtained from an in-depth, semi-structured interview with an open - ended questionnaire applying purposeful sampling method. All interviews recorded and typed precisely word by word and transcripts reviewed and checked again. Deducted themes from data coded and categorized.Results: 45 out of 61 participants were HIV positive and 16 were AIDS PATIENTS. The age range was 21-24 years and 37.7% were female. Themes described in two sections: the first was perception section, which was about ways of acquiring the disease; and insufficient knowledge about the transmission and prevention of the disease. The second section assessed BEHAVIORS, which included a number of high-risk BEHAVIORS, non-self disclosure of disease and not using preventive methods.Conclusion: We concluded that more instructions or counseling in the field of transmission and disclosure of the disease is necessary to improve the social support.
