The present study determined how much HIV-1-positive persons knew about AIDS, and HIV-1 transmission and prevention, in comparison with HIV-1-negative controls in a predominantly heterosexual cohort. The subjects were blood donors, blood recipients, hemophiliacs, and their sexual partners. A 16-item questionnaire about AIDS, HIV-1 transmission, and knowledge of safe sexual practices was administered to 228 subjects to determine background information. The HIV-1-positive cohort answered more questions correctly (mean = 8.5) than did the HIV-1-negative cohort (mean = 6.5), largely as a result of general information about AIDS among those with steady sexual partners. All persons, however, were poorly informed about HIV-1 transmission and safe sexual practices. Thus, there is a great need for effective counselling.
本研究确定了在一个以异性恋为主的队列中，与HIV-1阴性对照组相比，HIV-1阳性者对艾滋病、HIV-1传播及预防的了解程度。研究对象为献血者、受血者、血友病患者及其性伴侣。对228名研究对象进行了一项包含16项关于艾滋病、HIV-1传播及安全性行为知识的问卷调查，以确定背景信息。HIV-1阳性队列正确回答的问题（平均8.5个）比HIV-1阴性队列（平均6.5个）更多，这主要是因为有固定性伴侣者掌握了一些关于艾滋病的一般信息。然而，所有人对HIV-1传播及安全性行为的了解都很欠缺。因此，非常需要有效的咨询服务。
