摘要
An AIDS-related knowledge study was carried out on a sample of 462 high secondary school teachers and students, in Kassala, eastern Sudan. The results showed high scores of knowledge about AIDS-transmission and general knowledge about the disease. However, there was a high frequency of AIDS-related misconceptions, especially among females and among teachers and students in the science education track. The study calls for more focus on these misconceptions in health education campaigns regarding AIDS.
