- Abstract
The study aimed to describe the scientific knowledge about HIV/AIDS among university students. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach, with proportional stratified sampling, totaling 260 selfadministered questionnaires. A questionnaire designed and adapted for this study was used, which seeks to verify the knowledge of young university students about AIDS/HIV in relation to knowledge, measures of transmission and methods of protection. The participants presented the following profile: the majority are women, young and single. The results demonstrated that the participants, university students, have a good knowledge about HIV/AIDS, regardless of the period studied. Students have knowledge about HIV/AIDS, the forms of transmission, but with regard to behaviors related to sexual health, most do not use condoms. It is concluded that, although the university community has knowledge about HIV/AIDS, the behaviors and attitudes are not consonant with them, showing vulnerability.
