Abstract

Introduction: Adolescents are the fastest growing risk group for the development of AIDS worldwide. Preventive education is the only tool available for reducing the risk of HIV infection among the youth.Objective: For assessment of KNOWLEDGE and attitude of university STUDENTS, this cross- sectional study was designed. Materials and Methods: The study population consisted of 850 non-medical STUDENTS of Guilan University that were selected by random sampling. For this survey a questionnaire consisting of demographic data, KNOWLEDGE and attitude questions was designed. KNOWLEDGE was ranked into good, intermediate and weak levels and 5 score Likert scale was used for attitude assessment. The data were collected by self-administered questionnaires, 744 of them were completed and analysed by Mantel - Haenzel x2 statistical method. Results: This study showed 11.7% of the STUDENTS had good, 7.6% intermediate and 10.7% weak KNOWLEDGE. KNOWLEDGE of Engineering Faculty STUDENTS was higher than others (P<0.05). Also, the younger STUDENTS who were married had better KNOWLEDGE than the older ones who were singles (P<0.05). Most of the STUDENTS (70.2%) were informed of HIV/AIDS by media.Conclusion: The results underline the importance of providing information with higher quantity and quality by media and also health subjects in the educational courses of the non- medical STUDENTS.
