The document is a survey report on HIV awareness among male and female students at Taylor's University Lakeside Campus. A group of six students conducted a survey using a 15 question form distributed to 150 male and 150 female students over three days. The collected data was compiled and statistically analyzed to identify the level of HIV awareness between genders. The analysis found that male students displayed a higher level of awareness compared to females, such as knowing HIV cannot be cured and is not transmitted through casual contact or mosquito bites.
This study examined the HIV/AIDS-related knowledge and attitudes of engineering college students in Lucknow, India. A questionnaire was administered to 192 students to gather information. The results found that most students had some basic knowledge about HIV transmission routes, though some misconceptions remained. While most students said they would support friends with HIV, nearly half were unwilling to have HIV-positive friends. The study concluded that youth are central to India's HIV epidemic and that comprehensive sex education programs for students delivered by trained teachers are needed.
The survey report summarizes data collected from 250 students (125 males, 125 females) regarding their knowledge of HIV. The statistical analysis provides responses to 15 survey questions in a multiple choice format. For each question, the report lists the response options and percentages of males and females who selected each option. It also identifies the mode and provides a short explanation of the correct answer. The objectives of the survey were to identify understanding of HIV among university students and determine if knowledge varied by gender.

Perceptions of tertiary students on the prevention of sexually transmitted di...iosrjce
The purpose of the study was to evaluate tertiary student’s sexual behaviour and their knowledge and attitudes
towards STDs, among students of University for Development Studies (UDS).
The research design: data was collected by using a quantitative survey using self-answered questionnaire, from
a sample of one hundred and thirty-four (n=134) out of a total student population of 3,881, using the simple
random sampling technique in the data gathering process.
Results/findings: out of the sample size of 134 students aged 15-44, 46.3% were males and 53.7% were females.
About 24.6%, (n=33) have ever had sex without a condom. The study revealed that 99.3% ever heard of STDs,
85.1% had either below or average knowledge about the causes of STDs, 55.2% had knowledge above average
on the prevention of STDs and more than 90% of the student sampled indicated that STDs are very common.
Interestingly, 6.7% of the sampled population said STDs are mainly female infections.
Recommendations: There is need for wider education at various levels of the educational system on STDs by
health care providers, and effective collaboration among health care providers, social activists, NGOs and
tertiary students to promote peer education on STDs prevention among students.

Outcome evaluations and cost implications of implementing the new guidelines are discussed.
Stress An Undetachable Condition of LifeYogeshIJTSRD
Stressful life events affects human body, which may lead to cardiovascular diseases and effect metabolism and immune system. Recent studies showed increase in stress levels in developing countries. This study aimed to determine the stress levels in MBBS students. The objectives of the study are a To determine the current stress level, b To assess relation between stress level and lifestyle of college students. The present study was carried out in Ahmedabad City of Gujarat State. A total of 400 medical students were included in the study, which were selected using multi stage sampling aged between 18 years to 25 years. Students were questioned regarding their socioeconomic and life style parameters. The results showed that physical activity such as walking, exercise, yoga, meditation etc. were associated to stress levels. College students showed high stress levels with more satisfaction were mostly smokers. Their major reason for eating junk food and smoking was, increase in stress. Conclusion Majority of students suffered from moderate stress levels. Despite of having stress they were happy and satisfied with life with less no internet addiction. Spirituality and stress scales had a positive correlation as most of the students were averagely highly spiritual. Discriminant function can be used to determine the stress level of a person using age, BMI, internet addiction, spirituality, happiness scale and life satisfaction scale of that person. Jayshree N.

Determinants of Malaria Prevalence among Children below Five Years in North W...IIJSRJournal
Background: Globally, malaria remains a major public health problem. In 2019 an estimated 229 million cases of malaria were reported, WHO African region accounted for 94% of total cases. In Kenya, malaria is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children under five years living in malaria endemic zones. This study investigated the factors that are associated with malaria prevalence among children under-five years living in North West Kisumu Ward, Kisumu County.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at Chulaimbo County Hospital from July 2019 to January 2020. Using a validated structured questionnaire, data were obtained from 369 randomly sampled children < 5 years who presented with signs and symptoms of malaria and had malaria positive or negative test results from the laboratory. Children with chronic illnesses such as HIV were not enrolled. Chi-square test of independence and logistic regression analysis was done using SPSS 20.0 software.
Results: Out of 369 participants, 183 (49.6%) tested positive for malaria. Child age was significantly associated with malaria (P = 0.04). There were low malaria odds among females (OR = 0.92, 95% CI 0.61-1.39) and in households where mothers (OR = 0.47, 95% CI 0.16-1.37) or fathers (OR = 0.86, 95% CI 0.31-2.35) had university education. Low malaria risk was also reported among children whose fathers had employment (OR = 0.94, 95% CI 0.49-1.80). On the contrary, high malaria risk was recorded among children whose mothers were employed (OR = 1.24, 95% CI 0.62-2.50). Children from married respondents were likely to test positive for malaria (OR = 1.07, 95% CI 0.60-1.93). Children who used bed nets were less likely to test positive for malaria (OR = 0.70, 95% CI 0.35-1.41). Surprisingly, low malaria risk was reported among severely malnourished children (OR = 0.71, 95% CI 0.42-1.20).
Conclusion: Child age and bed net use, but not nutritional status, are important determinants of malaria prevalence in children under 5 years. The Ministry of Health should promote more efforts towards protecting young children from malaria, by ensuring access and use of bed nets, and enhancing health education.

Daytime Impairment due to College Student Technology Use during S(1)Rachel Feragne
This study examined the relationship between college students' technology use during sleep and daytime impairment. Sixty college students completed questionnaires assessing sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, fatigue upon waking, and technology use after sleep onset. The study found that students who used technology after falling asleep reported more daytime impairment, including increased fatigue upon waking and higher scores on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, compared to students who did not use technology. General ratings of fatigue and scores on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale were better predictors of impairment from technology use than the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The results provide preliminary evidence that technology use during sleep can negatively impact college students' daytime functioning in ways similar to obstructive sleep apnea.
HBV Awareness Survey in Asias Communities 2012_May30Willie Kwong
The survey found that awareness of hepatitis B (HBV) varied among different ethnic groups in Vancouver, with Chinese and Filipino populations reporting the highest awareness at 88% while awareness was lowest among South Asians at 40%. Overall, 49% of respondents reported being tested for HBV, though testing rates differed across ethnicities. The majority of respondents were not currently receiving treatment for HBV despite being diagnosed. Most felt that HBV education should be provided in ethnic languages and that current community education levels about HBV are inadequate. [END SUMMARY]

This document summarizes a study that assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of 432 students enrolled in health-related courses at Saint Louis University in the Philippines regarding human papillomavirus (HPV). The students demonstrated fair knowledge of HPV transmission but poor understanding of the diseases caused by HPV. Their knowledge of HPV signs and symptoms and prevention/control measures was better. Students had positive attitudes toward HPV infection and vaccination. Medical students showed higher levels of HPV knowledge than other students. While practices for reducing HPV infection were generally good, interventions are still needed to improve HPV education, especially regarding transmission and diseases caused.
The document summarizes 18 studies on preventing HIV among older adults. It finds that while HIV rates are rising in older populations, few prevention programs have targeted this group. The studies examined universal prevention programs for the general older population (3 studies), indicated prevention for older adults already infected (5 studies), and strategies/recommendations (10 studies). Most interventions showed improved HIV knowledge, though more research is needed due to the growing numbers of older adults at risk of infection.
This study aimed to determine the effect of an educational program on nursing students' knowledge of HPV. Eighteen senior nursing students completed a pre-test, participated in an HPV educational program, and then took a post-test. The mean pre-test score was 10.83 out of 15 (72%) and the mean post-test score was 13.78 out of 15 (91%). A paired t-test found this improvement was statistically significant. The educational program effectively increased nursing students' knowledge of HPV disease and vaccination, which could help improve HPV prevention efforts.
The document summarizes key findings from several studies on interventions to increase HPV vaccination rates. The studies commonly used educational interventions such as presentations and text messages to increase knowledge about HPV and the vaccine. While many interventions were not theory-based, one study found that a text message intervention grounded in the Transtheoretical Model successfully increased vaccination intent and rates. Overall, the reviewed studies found that educational awareness interventions generally improved knowledge and attitudes toward the HPV vaccine.

ABSTRACT
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) remains a serious reproductive health problem globally. Despite this fact, youths recklessly involve in sexual activities which predisposes them to STIs which could rather be easily preventable. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practice of youths aged 19–24 towards prevention of STIs at KIU-TH in Ishaka Bushenyi district, Uganda. The study was a descriptive cross-sectional and quantitative methods were employed in data collection. Fifty respondents both male and female were selected using a convenient sampling method. Most respondents 30 (60%) were between 19 – 20 years, 30(60%) were students and 30(60%) were single. Knowledge towards prevention of STIs was good as majority 50(100%) understood the term STIs, 25(50%) knew HIV infection as an STIs, 50(100%) knew about transmission of STIs, 30(60%) had been sensitized and health educated about STIs prevention and majority knew condom use 30(60%) as one of the ways of preventing STIs. Attitudes were fair as majority 40(80%) believed that STIs can be dangerous and majority 40(80%) felt they could prevent STIs. Practice was poor as majority had 1-2 partners, 30(60%) and majority had their first partner at 15-17 years old 30(60%), majority of the respondents took alcohol 35(70%), majority 37(74%) reported teenage involvement in sexual relationship and 35(70%) reported alcohol as one of the most leading factors into sexual relationships, majority 33(66%) did not take precautions during sexual intercourse only 18(36%) used condoms. The study found out adequate knowledge towards STIs prevention and attitudes were fair but practices were poor.

The study assessed knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding emergency contraception among 366 female students in Mekelle, Northern Ethiopia. The key findings were:
1) About 90.7% of respondents had heard of emergency contraception. Three-fourths (75.7%) had good knowledge and over half (64.9%) had a positive attitude.
2) Older age was significantly associated with greater awareness. Those over 18 were more likely to have good knowledge compared to younger students.
3) Age and ethnicity also influenced attitude - younger students and non-Tigre ethnic groups were less likely to have a positive attitude.
4) While knowledge and attitude were high, the study
The document summarizes a study on HIV prevention education among adolescents in Cape Town, South Africa. It finds that while many parents and schools discuss HIV prevention, over a third of youth are tired of hearing about it. Most youth have been tested for HIV and sexually active youth commonly use condoms. However, interest in typical HIV prevention topics is low, with less than half interested in safe sex practices. The researchers conclude there is a need for more engaging HIV prevention programs that present information in new ways for youth.

The study provides insight into awareness levels and information gaps regarding HIV/AIDS in Johor.
Risk of hiv infection among men aged 50 to 75 years using erectile dysfunctio...Alexander Decker
This study examined the risk of HIV infection among men aged 50 to 75 years who use erectile dysfunction drugs (EDDs) in Kenya. A case-control study was conducted of 137 HIV-positive men (cases) and 137 HIV-negative men (controls). The study found that a higher percentage of cases than controls reported using EDDs. However, after adjusting for other risk factors like having multiple sexual partners or a history of STDs, EDD use was not a significant independent risk factor for HIV infection. Multiple sexual partners, a history of STDs, and alcohol use were identified as independent risk factors for HIV in this population. The study suggests that while EDD use may be associated with HIV risk, other behavioral

Sarah applied several social psychology concepts in reflecting on her dating experiences. For her first date with Jackson, her initial negative stereotype (concept 1) and first impression (concept 2) of him as a "flirty player" led to discomfort. However, through the experience she underwent cognitive accommodation (concept 3), changing her beliefs about white men. Intrinsic motivation (concept 4) drove her decision to go on another date with Jackson as she enjoyed being with him. On that date, her self-fulfilling prophecy (concept 5) of the date going badly caused awkward behavior when she acted consistently with her nervous beliefs. Later, counterfactual thinking (concept 6) led Sarah to imagine how the date could have turned out differently had

have gotten the correct answer. However, the number of female students who have gotten the
correct answer are more than the male students. Based on calculation, 75.3% of the female
students and 60.7% of the male students showed that they are able to clarify the differences
between the disease and the virus.

Pink Red Blue Black
Male 22 112 8 8
Female 41 96 6 7
The red ribbon is the universal symbol of awareness and support for those living with HIV. The
red ribbon was the first ever ribbon symbol, inspiring later versions such as the pink ribbon for
breast cancer awareness. On the other hand, the black ribbon is used as the awareness symbol for
the Melanoma skin cancer while the blue ribbon is actually used for quite a number of diseases
depending on the types of blue, i.e. dark blue is for colon cancer and light blue is for prostate
cancer.
Based on calculation, the percentage of students who have answered the question correctly are
74.7% and 64% for male and female students respectively. The modal class is the red ribbon.
Percentage of students who have answered correctly (%)
Male : (112/150) x 100% = 74.7%

10. Q3. Can HIV be fully cured?
Gender
Number of Students
Yes No
Male 26 124
Female 39 111
Up till today, no functional cure has been found to treat HIV infection. Treatments and
medication such as antiretroviral therapy, ARVs, antiHIV or antiAIDS drugs function only to
keep the amount of HIV in the body at a low level. This stops any weakening of the immune
system and allows it to recover from any damage that HIV might have already caused.
The bar chart shows that the number of male students who had gotten the right answer is higher
as compared to the female students. Only 111 out of 150 female respondents which is equivalent
to a percentage of 74% had chosen “No” as their answers while 124 out of 150 male students
who have chosen the right answer had contributed to a percentage of 82.7%.
Percentage of students who have answered correctly (%)
Male : (124/150) x 100% = 82.7%

11. Q4. HIV can be transmitted through casual contact / mosquitoes bite /
unprotected sexual intercouse?
Gender
Number of Students
Casual Contact Mosquitoes Bite Unprotected Sexual Intercourse
Male 13 16 147
Female 26 17 139
Unlike most transmissible diseases (colds, flus, measles, etc.), HIV is not transmitted through air,
food, water, or by touching any object handled, touched, or breathed on by a person with an
HIV/AIDS infection. Casual contact with HIV infected person does not place others at risk.
Besides, HIV cannot survive and replicate within a mosquito’s gut as it requires specialist cells
found only in the human body in order to multiply. However, unprotected sexual intercourse is
associated with the highest risk of transmitting HIV and other types of STD (sexually transmitted
diseases) through semen and vaginal fluid.
As this is a multiplechoice question, students are allowed to choose more than one answers. The
data has shown that 98% of the male students and 92.7% of the female students had chosen the
correct answer. However, 8.7% of male students and 17.3% of female students had chosen
“casual contact” as how HIV is transmitted through. Meanwhile, 12% of male students and
11.3% of female students think that “mosquitoes bite” is what contributes to the transmission of
the virus. The modal class for this question is “unprotected sexual intercourse”.

13. Q5. Which of the following can reduce the risk of getting HIV through
sexual contact?
Gender
Number of Students
Condoms Contraceptive Pills Contraceptive Injection
Male 141 27 42
Female 125 34 48
Condoms are highly effective in preventing HIV when used consistently and correctly.
Contraception which includes contraceptive pills and injection served only to prevent a woman
from getting pregnant. They do not help in any prevention of HIV infection. As for this question,
students are allowed to choose more than one answers.
Based on the bar chart shown above, the modal class is “condoms”. It has been calculated that
94% of the male students and 83.3% of the female students had chosen the correct answer. In
comparison, male students are shown to have a higher awareness than female students regarding
the given question. However, there are 18% the of male students and 22.7% of the female
students think that contraceptive pills play a part in reducing the risk of HIV transmission.
Meanwhile, 28% of the male students and 32% of the female students had gone for the last
option, which is “contraceptive injection”.

15. Q6. HIV can be prevented by avoiding contact with HIV positive people /
drugs and alcohol intake?
Gender
Number of Students
Contact with HIV positive people Drugs and alcohol intake
Male 122 56
Female 121 58
HIV can be prevented by avoiding drugs and alcohol intake. This is because drugs and alcohol
can weaken a person’s immune system by killing antibodies naturally produced by the body.
Lower count of antibodies could expose you to a greater risk of HIV infections as your immune
system failed to fight against the virus even if they are found in a relatively small amount. On the
other hand, having casual contact with HIVinfected patient does not place the others at risk for
an infection at all. Hence, the avoidance of having casual contact with HIVinfected patient does
not help in any of the preventions.
The bar chart shows that more than half of both male and female survey respondents had chosen
the incorrect answer which is by avoiding casual contact with HIV positive people. Only 37.3%
of the male students and 38.7% of the female students had answered the question correctly.
Percentage of students who have answered correctly (%)
Male : (56/150) x 100% = 37.3%
Female: (58/150) x 100% = 38.7%

Male 69 81
Female 59 91
A HIVinfected patient can actually give birth to a HIVfree baby. There are prevention
strategies which are available to decrease the risk of the child becoming infected. Without any
kind of prevention strategy, the risk of mothertochild transmission is about 25%. However, if
prevention strategies begin in sufficient time, this risk can be reduced to 1%.
The bar chart above shows that majority of the students had gotten the wrong answer. Only 46%
of the male students and 39.3% of the female students had agreed with the given statement.
Percentage of students who have answered correctly (%)
Male : (69/150) x 100% = 46%
Female: (59/150) x 100% = 39.3%

17. Q8. Do animals get infected by HIV?
Gender
Number of Students
Yes No
Male 93 57
Female 71 79
Animals would not be infected by HIV as HIV which stands for human immunodeficiency virus
clearly tells that it will affect only the human mechanism. However, animals do have the chances
to be infected with a similar disease carried by the virus named simian immunodeficiency virus
(SIV).
The data above shows that less than 50% of the overall survey respondents are aware of this
biological fact. Based on calculation, only 38% of the male students (57 out of 150) and 52.7%
of the female students (79 out of 150) had answered the question correctly.
Percentage of students who have answered correctly (%)
Male : (57/150) x 100% = 38%
Female: (79/150) x 100% = 52.7%
Total : [(79+57) /300] x 100% = 45.3%

18. Q9. Someone who is infected by HIV would definitely have AIDS.
Gender
Number of Students
True False
Male 68 82
Female 76 74
It is not true that someone who is infected by HIV would definitely have AIDS because AIDS is
the severe stage of HIV infection. AIDS would not be triggered when the virus are found in an
inactive condition in the body.
The bar chart above shows that more than half of the overall survey respondents disagreed with
the statement given in the survey questionnaire whereby someone who is infected by HIV would
definitely have AIDS. However, 54.7% of the male students and 49.3% of the female students
had answered this question correctly. The total number of respondents who had gotten the
correct answer (156 out of 300) had contributed to a percentage of 52%.
Percentage of students who have answered correctly (%)
Male : (82/150) x 100% = 54.7%

True False
Male 59 91
Female 43 107
The spread of HIV does not begin with homosexual. This is a common public’s misconception
about HIV/AIDS. In fact, it is primarily spread by heterosexual sexual contact.
Based on calculations, 60.7% of the male students (91 out of 150) and 71.3% of the female
students (107 out of 150) have shown to have answered this question correctly. In summation,
66% of the overall survey respondents (198 out of 300) are aware that homosexual does not
initiate the spread of HIV.
Percentage of students who have answered correctly (%)
Male : (91/150) x 100% = 60.7%
Female: (107/150) x 100% = 71.3%

20. Q11. Can HIV be tested through saliva test?
Gender
Number of Students
Yes No
Male 61 89
Female 65 85
HIV can be tested through saliva test. It works just like the HIV blood tests by detecting the
presence of HIV antibodies. This is because when a person is infected with HIV, his or her
immune system produces antibodies in a futile attempt to kill the virus. Hence, if a person has
HIV, he would also have HIV antibodies.
The data collected proves that 58% of the overall respondents are not aware that the infection can
actually be tested by taking an oral HIV test. However, there are 40.7% of the male students and
43.3% of the female students who had answered correctly.
Percentage of students who have answered correctly (%)
Male : (61/150) x 100% = 40.7%
Female: (65/150) x 100% = 43.3%
Total : [(61+65)/300] x 100% = 42%

21. Q12. Can a person who is infected by HIV still look well and feel healthy?
Gender
Number of Students
Yes No
Male 113 37
Female 94 56
“In the early stages of HIV infection, the most common symptoms are none,” says Michael
Horberg, MD, director of HIV/AIDS for Kaiser Permanente, in Oakland, Cali. Most people
infected with HIV are symptomfree and would not know they were infected unless they were
tested. After infection with HIV, it can take 3 months for antibodies to the virus to be detectable
in the blood. Initially, the immune system can keep the virus at bay for a while, but it can't
completely get rid of it. Many people will feel fine for years before their immune system
weakens and they develop AIDS.
The data collected shows that more than 50% of the overall survey respondents had chosen the
correct answer. Besides, the percentage of students who have answered correctly are 75.3% and
62.7% for male and female students respectively. Hence, it is concluded that the male students
understand better than the female students for this question.

22. Q13. When a person is infected by HIV, his/her immune system is weakened.
Gender
Number of Students
Yes No
Male 142 8
Female 114 36
HIV infects the vital cells of the human immune system by attacking the CD4+ T cells, a type
of white blood cells that function as a “fighter” cell which are crucial to the immune system.
Based on the data collected, 85.3% of the overall survey respondents show that they understood
the fact that a person’s immune system is weakened when he/she is infected with HIV. Also, the
total students who have agreed with the given statement are 94.7% and 76% for male and female
students respectively. Hence, with the figure stated, it is shown that the male students are more
highly aware than the female students on how HIV could impact the human body.
Percentage of students who have answered correctly (%)
Male : [(142/150) x 100%] = 94.7%
Female: [(114/150) x 100%] = 76%
Total : [(142+114)/300 x 100%] = 85.3%

positive?
Gender
Number of Students
Yes No
Male 32 118
Female 42 108
It is not safe to have unprotected sex when both parties are having HIV positive. This will cause
reinfection when a person living with HIV gets infected a second time while having unprotected
sex with another HIV infected person.
Based on calculation, 78.7% of the male students and 72% of the female students have answered
this question correctly. In comparison, the male students have shown to have a better
understanding on the fact behind this question as compared to the female students.
Percentage of students who have answered correctly (%)
Male : [(118/150) x 100%] = 78.7%
Female: [(108/150) x 100%] = 72%

24. Q15. What is the treatment for HIV infection?
Gender
Number of Students
Antiretroviral therapy Chemotherapy Gamma therapy
Male 116 26 47
Female 110 39 42
The treatment for HIV infection is antiretroviral therapy (ART). It helps to keep the amount of
HIV in the body at a low level and stop the immune system from getting further impaired. On the
other hand, gamma therapy which is also known as Gamma Knife radiosurgery is a type of
radiation therapy used to treat tumors and other abnormalities in the brain. Lastly, chemotherapy
is the treatment for cancer by using chemical substances.
From the table above, the modal class is “antiretroviral therapy”. The amount of students who
have answered this question correctly are 77.3% and 73.3% for male and female students
respectively.
Percentage of students who have answered correctly (%)
Male : [(116/150) x 100%] = 77.3%
Female: [(110/150) x 100%] = 73.3%

25. CONCLUSION
The collected data and information have been gathered and tabulated to determine the
understanding level of female and male students regarding the human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV). Based on analysis, more than 75% of the overall respondents have achieved a certain
level of HIV awareness in which they manage to answer more than half of the questions
correctly. However, there are also a few questions which the majority has gotten it wrong. One
of it includes question regarding the prevention of HIV. Many chose to avoid casual contact with
HIVinfected patient as one of the way to prevent themselves from getting infected, but in fact,
HIV pose no threats to people who are engaged in skin to skin contact.
Besides, more than 50% of the male and female respondents disagree with the statement
which claims that HIVinfected patient can give birth to a HIVfree baby. However, this is
actually true when a pregnant woman is on an antiretroviral treatment. Moreover, nearly half of
the overall respondents which is equivalent to a percentage of 48% believed that a person who is
infected by HIV would definitely have AIDS. In fact, HIV infections are actually divided into 3
stages which are the acute infection, followed by clinical latency and the latest stage, which is
the severe case called AIDS.
To wrap this up, it is concluded that the male students have a higher level of HIV
awareness as compared to the female students. Apart from that, there has also been personal
development and knowledges gained throughout the entire process of completing this survey
report. We hereby hoping that students would be exposed more to AIDS/HIVrelated awareness
events and talks so as to help them understand better by having a basic medical knowledges not
only for societal benefits but as well as for themselves.
