SEXUAL BEHAVIOR AND KNOWLEDGE OF AIDS & OTHER STDs: A SURVEY OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Abstract
ABSTRACT: The major objective of this study has been to examine the sexual behavior and level of knowledge of AIDS and other STDs of students at a senior high school. 116 students from the 9th to 12th grades provided information. Most of them believe that AIDS is the most serious disease the country faces. On the average, the students have modest knowledge on AIDS, but low level of knowledge on other STDs. The results show that over a third of the students have experienced sex, and most of them never use any protective means to avoid STDs.Downloads
