HIV/AIDS knowledge, behaviour and beliefs among South African university students (original) (raw)

2011, Sahara J-journal of Social Aspects of Hiv-aids

AI-generated Abstract

This research examines HIV/AIDS knowledge, behavior, and beliefs among university students in South Africa, with a focus on the alarming infection rates in the 20-24 age group. It identifies that despite adequate knowledge of HIV/AIDS, behavior change remains limited, as many students rely on potentially misleading media for information. The findings emphasize the need for continuous and in-depth educational interventions tailored to cultural complexities, particularly for female students, to effectively reduce HIV prevalence in this demographic.
