Abstract

We surveyed the knowledge of and attitudes about acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) of 236 women living in a rural community. The design of the study was descriptive, using the AIDS Knowledge and Belief Survey. There was a significant positive correlation between attitude scores and knowledge scores. Women who had read about AIDS had significantly higher knowledge scores than women who had not read about AIDS, but there were no significant differences between the attitude scores of women who had and had not read about AIDS.
