Abstract

Background: AIDS is one of the most important causes of mortality throughout the world, due to lack of an effective treatment and vaccine. The only way for controlling this disease is improving public AWARENESS and teaching PREVENTION, especially to the youth. The aim of this study was to determine the public’s AWARENESS level about AIDS in order to perform educational programs based on the needs of the community.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 300 individuals visiting the Police Exhibition in Kerman, Iran, in 2010, volunteered to participate in the study and were evaluated. Data gathering was done by a questionnaire consisting demographic features and AWARENESS testing items with sufficient validity and reliability. Data were entered in SPSS17 and analyzed using chi-square test and Pearson’s coefficient correlation.Results: The mean AWARENESS score was 38.7 ± 8.7 from 59. AWARENESS level was poor in 16.7%, moderate in 61.0% and good in 22.3% about AIDS and its TRANSMISSION ROUTES. AWARENESS score showed a significant relationship with gender, job and educational level as women, housekeepers and people with above diploma education had higher scores. There was no significant relationship between the AWARENESS score and age or marital status.Conclusion: According to the results, it seems like the AWARENESS level of AIDS TRANSMISSION ROUTES and PREVENTION is average and not desirable in our research community. Therefore, more focus on educational programs is needed to improve the health level of the society and to keep their knowledge at a desirable level.
