Abstract
A SURVEY was carried out among a representative sample of college students in West Glamorgan dis trict in 1989, to assess their level of knowledge of human immunodeficiency virus infection, their atti tudes, and their reported sexual behaviour. The levels of knowledge of modes of infection and its course were good, although a few areas of confusion over transmission routes were expressed — such as donating blood and mosquito bites. Most of the students were aware of preventive measures but a significant minority believed coitus interruptus and spermicidal cream could also prevent HIV infection. Many did not express sympathy for people with Aids. An overwhelming majority expressed a need for sex education in secondary schools.
