- W2319977423 abstract "Acquiring knowledge and skills will encourage young people to avoid or reduce behaviors that carry a risk of contracting HIV infection. Studies on level of awareness on HIV/AIDS among youths have been done in other parts of the country, but are scarce for the North-Eastern part of the country which is socio-topographically quite different from the mainland of the country. Hence, it was felt necessary to assess the level of knowledge on HIV/AIDS among youths. A cross-sectional study to assess the level of knowledge on HIV/AIDS among Class XI and XII students and also to study their attitudes towards HIV/AIDS was done in Imphal, Manipur. Data were collected by using a questionnaire format from 1852 students selected randomly from all the existing 16 higher secondary schools on the basis of PPS. 96% of the students had heard about HIV/AIDS, the main sources of information being books, teachers, TV, radio and newspaper. 66% could differentiate between HIV and AIDS. The number of respondents who were aware of the routes of HIV transmission was (i) Infected blood transfusion (1776, 95%) (ii) Body fluids/secretions (1772, 95%) (iii) Sharing needles/syringes (1578, 85%) (iv) Breast feeding/ Mother to child (1494, 80%) (v) Tattooing (1140, 61%) (vi) Sharing razors (794, 43%) and (vii) Deep kissing (524, 28%). The number of respondents who had misconceptions on transmission routes was (i) Mosquito-bites (418, 22%) (ii) Coughing/sneezing (136, 7%) (iii) Sharing drinking glass (26, 1%) and (iv) Touching/shaking hands (26, 1%). The proportion of respondents who could identify means of preventing HIV/AIDS transmission viz. Screening blood before transfusion, Abstinence before marriage, Knowing one's HIV status, Use of condoms, Use of sterilized syringes, Screening pregnant women were 79%, 78%, 78%, 78%, 71% and 56% respectively. 63-80% of the students had positive attitudes towards HIV/AIDS. The mean score based on knowledge and attitudes was found to be significantly higher among girl students than boys and also among government-owned school students than the private-owned schools students. The current findings were much better than reported by other studies done in other parts of India. Concerned State stakeholders in coordination with the educational sector should continue to give relentless effort so that each and every youth has full and clear knowledge on" @default.
