Abstract
This study aims to explore the role that self-efficacy plays in determining Taiwanese junior and senior college students' intentions to seek online STDs and HIV/AIDS information. This cross-sectional study recruited 482 junior and senior Taiwanese college students enrolled at a university in southern Taiwan to complete a self-report questionnaire. Results show that respondents' self-efficacy to control STDs and HIV/AIDS infection directly and negatively predicted their intentions to seek information about STDs and HIV/AIDS on the Internet, while Internet self-efficacy directly and positively predicted such intentions. Given that the Internet has become a frequently-used channel for information among young people in Taiwan, this study suggests that improving Internet self-efficacy among Taiwanese college students may increase their intentions and ability to use the Internet to seek online STDs and HIV/AIDS information.
