Comprehensive correct HIV/AIDS knowledge (CCAK) is defined as correctly identify the two major ways of preventing the sexual transmission of HIV, and reject the most common misconceptions about HIV transmission. There are limited studies on this topic in Sudan. In this study we investigated the Comprehensive correct HIV/AIDS knowledge among Universities students.
A cross-sectional analytic study was conducted among 556 students from two universities in 2014. Data were collected by using the self-administered pre-tested structured questionnaire. Chi-square was used for testing the significance and P. Value of ≥ 0.05 is considered as statistically significant.
The majority (97.1%) of study subjects have heard about a disease called HIV/AIDS, while only 28.6% of them knew anyone who is infected with AIDS in the local community. Minority (13.8%) of students had CCAK however, males showed a better level of CCAK than females (OR = 2.77) with high significant statistical differences (P. Value = 0.001).
Poor rate of CCAK among university students is noticed, especially among females. Almost half of students did not know preventive measures of HIV, nearly two thirds had misconception, about one third did not know the mode of transmission of HIV.
全面正确的艾滋病毒/艾滋病知识（CCAK）被定义为正确识别预防艾滋病毒性传播的两种主要方式，并摒弃对艾滋病毒传播最常见的误解。苏丹关于这一主题的研究有限。在本研究中，我们调查了大学生的全面正确艾滋病毒/艾滋病知识。
2014年对来自两所大学的556名学生进行了横断面分析研究。通过使用预先测试的自填式结构化问卷收集数据。采用卡方检验显著性，P值≥0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
大多数（97.1%）研究对象听说过一种名为艾滋病毒/艾滋病的疾病，而他们中只有28.6%的人在当地社区认识感染艾滋病的人。少数（13.8%）学生具备全面正确的艾滋病毒/艾滋病知识，然而，男性的全面正确艾滋病毒/艾滋病知识水平高于女性（OR = 2.77），具有高度显著的统计学差异（P值 = 0.001）。
注意到大学生中全面正确的艾滋病毒/艾滋病知识水平较低，尤其是在女性中。几乎一半的学生不知道艾滋病毒的预防措施，近三分之二的学生存在误解，约三分之一的学生不知道艾滋病毒的传播方式。
