OBJECTIVE
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a notable public health problem among young adults. The present study examined college students' knowledge of HIV and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in relation to their sexual health behaviors.
PARTICIPANTS AND METHOD
Participants included 1516 students who completed questionnaires on actual and perceived HIV knowledge, perceived PrEP knowledge, and sexual health behaviors.
RESULTS
While knowledge of HIV was high, knowledge of PrEP was low. Approximately 73% of the sample reported not using condoms at all times, and 41% reported never having been tested for HIV. Women, students at public schools, upper-year students, and students with higher HIV and PrEP knowledge were more likely to get tested for HIV than their counterparts. Knowledge of HIV and PrEP did not relate to condom use.
CONCLUSION
These results suggest the need for increased education about PrEP and strategies to help students translate knowledge about HIV to recommended sexual health behaviors.
目的
人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）在年轻人中是一个显著的公共卫生问题。本研究调查了大学生对HIV及暴露前预防（PrEP）的了解情况与其性健康行为之间的关系。
参与者与方法
参与者包括1516名学生，他们完成了关于实际和感知到的HIV知识、感知到的PrEP知识以及性健康行为的问卷调查。
结果
虽然对HIV的了解程度较高，但对PrEP的了解程度较低。约73%的样本报告并非始终使用避孕套，41%的样本报告从未接受过HIV检测。女性、公立学校的学生、高年级学生以及对HIV和PrEP了解较多的学生比其他学生更有可能接受HIV检测。对HIV和PrEP的了解与避孕套使用无关。
结论
这些结果表明需要加强对PrEP的教育，并采取策略帮助学生将HIV知识转化为推荐的性健康行为。
