considered as the second dangerous disease after cancer. The % 75 of the
interviewees stated that they know what AIDS is but %74 are not aware of
how it is spread by contagion. Knowledge of AIDS changes between %30-95
depending on education, socio-economic status and awareness level of
provinces. %46 of the interviewees recall the campaign. The most
recalled slogan with %42 is The only solution is the only one partner.
