to assess the level of knowledge about HIV infection among students of the city of Niš, Serbia, through the evaluation of what was their attitude towards social contacts with HIV-positive/diseased subjects, their opinion about the treatment of HIV-positive/diseased subjects, and the sanctions for their inadequate behavior.
the study was performed in December 2010 as cross-sectional epidemiological survey on a sample of 260 families chosen randomly from telephone book of the City of Niš, Serbia.
the study population was composed from 143 university students and 64 high-school students. A questionnaire made up of 53 questions about HIV infection and about attitudes towards HIV-positive/diseased subjects was administered to the participants.
right answers about the sources of HIV infection ranged from 53.1% to 100%; right answers about mode of transmission of HIV infection ranged from 46.4% to 100%. 79.2% students expressed the opinion that HIV positive/ diseased persons should be treated by the society in the same way as other patients, but only 3.7% of them expressed the wish to have social relations with them. Only 28% of the students agreed that HIV infected subjects should be cured in the same medical institutions with other patients. Concerning the responses about possible sanctions towards HIV-positive/diseased subjects who spread the infection deliberately, 28% of the students agreed that they should undergo administrative or penal sanctions.
student's level of knowledge (both from high schools and universities) about HIV is generally satisfactory, with some exceptions that may be corrected with a better sanitary education. Theoretical attitude of students towards HIV positive/diseased subjects is generally positive, but these results are in clear contrast with answers about relations with these persons in everyday life.
通过评估塞尔维亚尼什市学生对与艾滋病毒阳性/患病者进行社会接触的态度、对艾滋病毒阳性/患病者治疗的看法以及对其不当行为的制裁措施，来评估他们对艾滋病毒感染的知识水平。
该研究于2010年12月进行，是一项横断面流行病学调查，样本为从塞尔维亚尼什市电话簿中随机选取的260个家庭。
研究人群由143名大学生和64名高中生组成。向参与者发放了一份由53个关于艾滋病毒感染及对艾滋病毒阳性/患病者态度的问题组成的问卷。
关于艾滋病毒感染来源的正确答案比例在53.1%至100%之间；关于艾滋病毒传播方式的正确答案比例在46.4%至100%之间。79.2%的学生认为社会应像对待其他患者一样对待艾滋病毒阳性/患病者，但只有3.7%的学生表示希望与他们建立社会关系。只有28%的学生同意艾滋病毒感染者应在与其他患者相同的医疗机构接受治疗。关于对故意传播感染的艾滋病毒阳性/患病者可能的制裁措施的回答，28%的学生同意他们应受到行政或刑事制裁。
学生（包括高中生和大学生）对艾滋病毒的知识水平总体上令人满意，但存在一些例外情况，可通过更好的卫生教育加以纠正。学生对艾滋病毒阳性/患病者的理论态度总体上是积极的，但这些结果与他们在日常生活中与这些人关系的回答形成鲜明对比。
