In recent years, adolescent has become one of the high-risk groups for HIV. Meanwhile, good HIV awareness and positive attitude are essential for HIV prevention. This study aims to evaluate the extent to which college students understand HIV and their attitudes toward HIV-infected patients, as well as the correlative factors. The data used in this study came from a cross-sectional survey. An anonymous online questionnaire was used to investigate the demographic characteristics, HIV/AIDS-related knowledge, and attitudes toward HIV-infected patients of 17,678 students from a university in Henan. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square test and logistic regression were used to analyze differences and connections between variables in SPSS version 25.0. Participants' HIV/AIDS-related knowledge awareness rate was 80.8%. Levels of students' HIV/AIDS-related knowledge correlated with their gender, nationality, marital status, and their grade ( < 0.01). Female students [OR = 0.757, 95% CI (0.699-0.820)] and minority students (OR = 0.717, 95% CI (0.619-0.832)] had insufficient HIV health education knowledge. Meanwhile, male students (OR = 0.845, 95% CI (0.773-0.924)], and students with good HIV knowledge (OR unaware-ness/awareness = 2.385, 95% CI (2.111-2.694)] were more likely to hold a positive attitude toward HIV-infected patients. The relevant education departments should strengthen and promote the education of AIDS transmission and prevention. Many college students still hold negative attitude toward HIV-infected patients. The government should further make efforts to eliminate social discrimination in HIV-infected patients and lead people to approach HIV-infected patients fairly.
近年来，青少年已成为艾滋病毒的高危人群之一。同时，良好的艾滋病毒意识和积极的态度对于艾滋病毒的预防至关重要。本研究旨在评估大学生对艾滋病毒的了解程度以及他们对艾滋病毒感染者的态度，以及相关因素。本研究使用的资料来自一项横断面调查。采用匿名在线问卷对河南省某大学 17678 名学生的人口统计学特征、艾滋病相关知识和对艾滋病感染者的态度进行了调查。在 SPSS 25.0 版中使用描述性统计、卡方检验和逻辑回归分析了变量之间的差异和联系。参与者的艾滋病相关知识知晓率为 80.8%。学生艾滋病相关知识水平与其性别、国籍、婚姻状况和年级有关（<0.01）。女生[OR=0.757，95%CI（0.699-0.820）]和少数民族学生[OR=0.717，95%CI（0.619-0.832）]接受的艾滋病健康教育知识不足。同时，男生[OR=0.845，95%CI（0.773-0.924）]和对艾滋病知识了解较好的学生[OR=2.385，95%CI（2.111-2.694）]更有可能对艾滋病感染者持积极态度。相关教育部门应加强和推广艾滋病传播和预防教育。许多大学生仍然对艾滋病感染者持消极态度。政府应进一步努力消除艾滋病感染者的社会歧视，引导人们公平地对待艾滋病感染者。
