Abstract

Background: The yearly incidence of AIDS continues to grow and just now no definite therapeutic approach and vaccination exist, so health educational programs are the only choice of management. First step is the awareness of the society KNOWLEDGE and PERCEPTION, so a study into KNOWLEDGE and PERCEPTION of female-high school students on AIDS was conducted in Tehran in 2000. Materials and methods: In this descriptive study, a questionnaire composed of three separate parts (demographic data, KNOWLEDGE and PERCEPTION assessment) was filled. Then results were analyzed. Results: Totally 646 students, including 153 students of the northern part of Tehran and 493 of the southern part of Tehran were studied. Moderate KNOWLEDGE toward AIDS was reported in 52.3%, meanwhile, considering "knowledge" no statistically significant difference was found between the groups (49% of northern part vs. 45.75% of southern part). Positive PERCEPTION toward AIDS was 54.5%. PERCEPTION was significantly higher in southern pail of Tehran (75% vs. 57%). Conclusion: KNOWLEDGE and PERCEPTION toward AIDS has been revealed to be unsatisfactory in students, so educational programming and thorough evaluation are strongly recommended.
