Impact of participation in HIV/Aids awareness programmes among adolescent children of HIV parents

Adolescents have poor knowledge on HIV/AIDS due to lack of access to scientific information and sources. There are number of awareness programmes. But the level is not up to the mark and hence the study is aimed to measure the impact of participation and correlations done with social variables for better understanding. The results showed that nearly half of the respondents had not participated in the HIV/AIDS awareness programmes. A greater proportion of the respondents had only moderate level of sexual awareness. There was a significant mean difference between the educational status of the fathers and mothers of the respondents and the level of sexual awareness. There was no mean difference between the level of sexual awareness and the family type of the respondents. It was concluded to have open and free education and suggested to promote access to scientific sources and use of ICT and social media through internet.
