[Investigation of STD/AIDS related KABP among the high-risk population].
OBJECTIVE
To understand the knowledge, attitude, behavior and perception (KABP) related to STD/AIDS among the high-risk population and to explore effective methods for health education and behavioral intervention.


METHODS
Seven hundred and twenty of the reeducated in a reeducation center were surveyed using questionnaires, which were collected and analyzed.


RESULTS
The knowledge of the subjects about STD/AIDS was insufficient. When they had sex with their clients, the preventive measures against STD/AIDS were incorrect and the proportion of condom use was small. And when infected with STD/AIDS, they turned to private clinics for nonstandard treatment.


CONCLUSIONS
The knowledge of save sex and the preventive measures against STD/AIDS need to be improved, and correct guidance is imperative as to the seeking of standard medical help among the high-risk population. The key to sexual health education was to establish a corresponding social supporting system.
