It is one of the most important preventive measures to propagandize the AIDS prevention knowledge to people, which could improve the ability to protect themselves.College students is a special group. On the one hand, they are just at the sex active phase, thought emancipated and full of energy, on the other hand, they have a big influence and demonstration effect of the society, at the same time, they have a certain amount of knowledge. Therefore, teaching them AIDS knowledge health can get twice the result with half the effect. They have a unique advantage on propagandizing and popularizing the AIDS knowledge, so it is of great significance for our country young population to develop targeted health education and behavior intervention.Heze city is located at the southwest of Shandong province, and is a less developed area.1980s saw the epidemic of AIDS because of commercial blood donation and the number of AIDS patients and HIV-infected patients is located in the forefront of the province, so AIDS prevention and control is always an important matter of the Heze disease prevention and control work.
