<br />
disrupting its function. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a term used for infection by HIV <br />
<br />
virus that attacks the immune system. Inadequate of knowledge, attitudes and risky behavioural are the <br />
<br />

data were collected using questionnaires that have been tested for their validity and reliability. Students <br />
<br />
who have completed a questionnaire will be given a brocure containing information about HIV/AIDS. The <br />
<br />
results showed there was a significant difference in knowledge about HIV/AIDS between the healthcare <br />
<br />
students and non-healthcare; 77,2% non-healthcare didn’t know unprotected sex among men without <br />
<br />
condom could transmit HIV/AIDS; non-healthcare students have low level of knowledge about spesific <br />
<br />
questions; there is significant attitudes difference towards people living with HIV/AIDS, majority the nonhealthcare has negative attitudes rather than healthcare; there are behavioural differences related <br />
<br />
HIV/AIDS, the healthcare group don’t take risky behavioural. There is significant relationship knowledge <br />
<br />
with attitudes and behavioural, majority students with higher level of knowledge do positive attitudes <br />
<br />
and safe behavioural, majority subjects with medium level of knowledge do negative attitudes and in the <br />
