 AB    This study investigated the knowledge, attitudes and personal behaviours
       of University students on AIDS. Two hundred and fifty students from the
       University of Ibadan randomly selected from eight faculties were
       surveyed. Results indicated that 58.7% of the subjects knew that AIDS is
       caused by a virus but 72.6% thought the disease could be spread through
       kissing, hugging or shaking hands and 48.0% believe they cannot have
       AIDS. Most students showed a high degree of aversion to AIDS victims
       while about a quarter reported having multiple sexual partners in the
       last five years. The results suggest that well organised, specifically
       targeted educational programmes are needed for University students.
