Abstract

India is the third most HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) /AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) -infected country in the world. The behavior of adolescents puts them at an increased risk for HIV and other STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections). Additionally, their knowledge about HIV/AIDS is often inadequate. A quasi experiment was designed to be conducted at four high schools with a random sampling of 451 students. Two high schools used computers and other multimedia methods to promote AIDS education while two other schools used traditional lectures. Each school had two class-hours of AIDS education. Findings determined a gap in knowledge, attitude and behavior about HIV/AIDS issues within these different groups. The implications for current teaching approaches are discussed in this study.
