Abstract

According to World Health Organization (W.H.O) estimates about 68 million males, females and children had been infected by the HIV virus up to Dec.2002. Meanwhile, it is estimated that the number of surviving cases was 42 million individuals.W.H.O and UNAIDS have declared that now a days AIDS is a health dilemma for the youth. Meanwhile, one the most applicable preventive approaches in this regard is promoting knowledge and AWARENESS in young people, especially ATTITUDE towards AIDS during puberty.This cross sectional study was conducted in order to determine the level of AWARENESS and ATTITUDE of HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS studying in government schools in the city of Tehran towards AIDS as well as the relationship between these two variables and the individual characteristics of students.Using a classification method, 5 of the 20 educational districts of Tehran were selected randomly.Then, two high schools were selected from each district randomly (one boys high school & one girls high school) thus students studying in 10 high schools; about 590 girls and boys were included in the study.Information was collected via a special questionnaire containing 19 questions.Relation assay among research variables was carried out using SPSS software and DOS program .Research findings were as follows: AWARENESS and knowledge of 50.3 % was low, 36.9% ranked moderate and 12.7% was high. ATTITUDE ranking based on Leekert scoring was as follows:13.7% low, 62.6% moderate, and 23.7% high.Statistical test (X2) showed 95% confidence level; there was a statistically significant difference between AWARENESS variable and individual characteristics (sex, age, educational discipline and district of education ) . Meanwhile, there was a statistical significant difference between ATTITUDE and sex, discipline, and district of education, however there was no statistically significant relationship between ATTITUDE and age of students .
