Abstract:Objective To understand the awareness of HIV/AIDS related knowledge among middle school students in Bao'an district of Shenzhen city from 2016 to 2018, and to provide evidence for improving the implementation effect of HIV/AIDS publicity and education among middle school students in Bao'an district. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted annually among middle school students annually selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method in Bao'an district of Shenzhen city during 2016-2018. A comparative analysis was madebetween the survey results andthe situation of HIV/AIDS related knowledge, attitude and practice in middle school students in 2011, and the change of the awareness rate was explored. Results A total of 5,517 students were investigated. The overall awareness rate of HIV/AIDS related knowledge among middle school students was 86.30%. The awareness rates of three same items (which were same as the items of the survey in 2011) in this survey were all significantly higher than those in the survey in 2011 (χ2=306.7532-1,273.312, P<0.001). No statistically significant difference was found in the awareness rate between male and female students as well as among students with different types of schools (χ2=0.4993, χ2=3.5444, both P>0.05). The awareness rates in different grades showed statistically significant differences, and the awareness rate was significantly lower in vocational middle school students than in junior and senior middle school students (χ2=17.9401, P=0.0001). Multi-factor analysis showed that the proportions of having HIV/AIDS related knowledge in senior and junior middle school students were 1.855 times and 1.978 times that in vocational middle school students, respectively, and the proportion of having HIV/AIDS related knowledge in public school students was 1.202 times that in private school students. 1.67% (29/1,734) of the students in senior middle schools and vocational middle schools had had sex, and only 20.00% (3/15) of 15 students who had sex in the past year during investigation used condoms every time. Logistic regression analysis showed that male students were more likely to have sex than female students (OR=5.756), and students who had not received HIV/AIDS prevention publicity services were more likely to havesex than those who had received related services (OR=3.040). Conclusions The awareness rate of HIV/AIDS related knowledge in middle school students in Bao'an district of Shenzhen city in 2016-2018 increased significantly as compared with that in 2011, but it was still lower than the relevant requirements of the country. It is therefore necessary to expand HIV/AIDS prevention publicity and education, especially for vocational middle school or private school students, and step up efforts in warning education and improve the level of sex education among students.
