Abstract
Data collected from 2,461 entering College students show that most students understand the risk of having multiple sexual partners and the value of abstinence and condoms in lowering the risk of infection. However, too few students understand how HIV is transmitted and how it affects the body. Data presented also suggest that in addition to providing educational programs for students, health educators should include academic advisors and counseling services personnel in their attempts to inform students. Relations among demographic characteristics of entering students and beliefs about AIDS were inconsequential and do not indicate the need for special AIDS education programs for subgroups of College freshmen.
