Abstract

Background: HIV/AIDS is a major worldwide health concern. The present study was conducted to determine KNOWLEDGE and ATTITUDES towards AIDS among HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS in Pakdasht.Material and method: Six hundred and fifty five students (404 females and 251 males) from 10 pre-university centers participated in the survey. An anonymous self-administered questionnaire was used to measured KNOWLEDGE (40 "true, false, do not" items), ATTITUDES (16 items, 5-point 8 Likert-type scale), and seven query (age, sex, educational field, sources of information, adequacy of information, need to more education and suitable ages).Results: Attitude toward HIV/AIDS was positive. General KNOWLEDGE of 45.5% students was good (true responses to more than 75% of items), 45.2% was moderate (true responses to 50- 74% of items) and only 9.3% had weak KNOWLEDGE (true responses to less than 25% of items); however, results revealed low level of KNOWLEDGE to oral sex, heterosexually contact, and the protective role of condom. TV was identified as the most frequent source of information, while 90% indicated the need for receiving HIV prevention education in the future.Conclusion: These defects may lead to further exposure to and contamination with HIV/AIDS. Thus, we recommend further surveys in this regard.
