The study examines trends in knowledge about HIV/AIDS prevention, perceived need for more information, and knowledge sources among 20,619 Israeli army releasees between 1993 and 2005. HIV/AIDS knowledge was strongly associated with education, lower religiosity and receiving information via the media in both genders, changing non-linearly over time. Need for more information was associated with low knowledge level among men (OR= 2.14; CI: 1.84-2.49; P < .0001) and women (OR 1.48; CI: 1.21-1.81; P < .0001). The findings underscore the need to reach those groups whose knowledge remains low over time utilizing the media, the preferred knowledge source, recognizing that a segment believes they do not need more information despite having low HIV/AIDS knowledge.
本研究调查了 1993 年至 2005 年间 20619 名以色列军队复员军人对 HIV/AIDS 预防知识的了解、对更多信息的需求以及知识来源的趋势。在男女两性中，艾滋病毒/艾滋病知识与教育程度密切相关，与宗教信仰程度较低和通过媒体获取信息有关，且随时间呈非线性变化。对更多信息的需求与男性（OR=2.14；CI：1.84-2.49；P<.0001）和女性（OR 1.48；CI：1.21-1.81；P<.0001）的低知识水平有关。研究结果强调，需要利用媒体这一首选知识来源，针对那些知识水平始终较低的群体开展宣传，因为有一部分人尽管对 HIV/AIDS 知识的了解程度较低，但却认为自己不需要更多信息。
