The document summarizes a student's research project on attitudes towards HIV/AIDS among youth in their community. The student conducted a survey using a questionnaire to collect data from 30 males and females aged 18-40. Key findings included that most respondents were aware of HIV/AIDS and how it spreads, though some supported isolating victims. The majority supported allowing HIV-positive people to work and attend school. The student recommends increasing HIV testing availability and education campaigns to address issues revealed in the research.

All respondents agreed that HIV/AIDS is a deadly disease. A 90% respondent indicated that the majority of the sample knows the different ways through which HIV/AIDS can be transmitted. The research also revels that 65% the respondents think that HIV/AIDS victims should be isolated, the majority of persons indicated that they are sexually active and have one sex partner, among them condom is used by the majority many of the respondents agreed that HIV/AIDS persons should be allowed to work and such students should remain in the same classroom with HIV/AIDS victims however 50% of the sample think that the name of HIV/AIDS victims should be made public the majority of person are of the views that government should spend money provided dugs for HIV/AIDS victims.

Doing this research on HIV/AIDS, I think person that are sexually active should take an HIV/AIDS test once every six month if not using a condom when having sex. <br />2. I therefore suggest that the ministry of health should send doctor in each community and run AIV/AIDS test randomly free of charge. <br />3. Also distribute condom in area this could solve the high standard of HIV/AIDS victims <br />
