AB Surveys to determine learning and behavioral changes that result from
education about human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune
deficiency syndrome (AIDS) should be constructed to account for high
levels of background knowledge and knowledge of safer sex practices
among college students. This article evaluates the learning and
behavioral changes of students enrolled in an HIV/AIDS education course
offered by the Department of Biological Sciences at Rutgers University
as part of a university-wide HIV/AIDS education program. Responses of
students in the HIV/AIDS class were compared with those of students
enrolled in other biology classes, using paired and unpaired t tests and
multivariate discriminant analysis. Participants revealed they had
significant knowledge about HIV/AIDS as a result of the HIV/AIDS class,
but students campus-wide had a far higher level of general knowledge
about HIV/AIDS than the authors expected. In addition, many students
already were practicing behaviors that would reduce their risk of HIV
infection. Because students were so knowledgeable about HIV and claimed
they practiced safer sex, it was difficult to demonstrate significant
changes in behavior as a result of the classroom experience.
