To date, no cure has been found for HIV/AIDS. Prevention has therefore been the immediate principal aim and a didactic approach has been given a primary role. Studies from the USA indicate that knowledge level may be dictated by membership of particular subcultural groups and the perceived relevance of HIV/AIDS to these groups. This study investigates knowledge among four groups: homosexual; single heterosexual; IV drug users; and a 'married' group. Results indicate some gaps in knowledge and a greater knowledge base among one of the high risk groups, the homosexual group.
迄今为止，尚未找到治愈艾滋病毒/艾滋病的方法。因此，预防一直是当务之急的主要目标，并且一种说教式方法发挥了主要作用。美国的研究表明，知识水平可能由特定亚文化群体的成员身份以及艾滋病毒/艾滋病与这些群体的感知相关性所决定。本研究调查了四个群体的知识情况：同性恋者；单身异性恋者；静脉注射吸毒者；以及“已婚”群体。结果表明存在一些知识差距，并且在其中一个高危群体即同性恋群体中知识基础更为雄厚。
