[Pre-test and post-test evaluation of HIV/AIDS educational program for adolescent].
The increasing incidence of AIDS among young people involves the need for effective HIV/AIDS prevention programs. The evaluation of such a program, using pretest, information and posttest, was performed in a high-school of Iaşi City, on a sample of 169 pupils. They answered a semi-structured questionnaire, concerning false and real HIV ways of transmission, attitudes and pre-conceptions about HIV infected people and preventive knowledge. The findings of this study showed that the cognitive level increases with age (higher at 17-19 years old pupils) and the receptivity is higher at 15-16 years old pupils.
