Abstract

Introduction: AIDS is a pandemic nowadays. In 1991, the number of HIV infected people was estimated 33 million. This number increased to 40 million up to 2001. The first case of the disease in Iran, was reported in a hemophilia children in 1987. At first, this disease transmitted by blood products in Iran, however, it expanded from other routes so that the early 2002, about 23% of cases transmitted by sexual contact, and 9% were less than 19 years. Considering this change of TRANSMISSION pattern, education of community, especially high risk groups can effect on PREVENTION of this disease. This cross-sectional study was carried out to determine education level of high school STUDENTS of Tehran from AIDS during the years 2001-2002. Method: Method of collecting data was a questionnaire consisted of 32 questions regarding TRANSMISSION and PREVENTION of AIDS. STUDENTS were selected by multistage random sampling. Sample size was 400 and data analysis was performed by SPSS version 10. Results: Out of 400 STUDENTS, 196(49%) and 204 (51%) were boys and girls, respectively. Among them 77.5% had good and 22.3% had moderate KNOWLEDGE about AIDS. KNOWLEDGE of AIDS TRANSMISSION was 90% in good and 9.8% in moderate level. These proportions about AIDS PREVENTION were 48.5% and 50.8%, respectively. KNOWLEDGE of girls significantly was more than boys. With elevation of education level, AIDS KNOWLEDGE was significantly increasing and the forth years had the highest score (86.5% with good KNOWLEDGE). KNOWLEDGE of experimental science STUDENTS was significantly more than the others (87.3% with good KNOWLEDGE). Level of STUDENTS KNOWLEDGE based on fathers and mothers’ occupation and mothers’ literacy had no differences. Conclusion: Considering the above results, it seems that education of STUDENTS about the ways of PREVENTION against AIDS is more important than that of TRANSMISSION routes and education of boys is in priority.
