According to the survey results, 746 students (accounting for 87.76%) understood exactly nature of HIV and the rest, approximately 12%, answered incorrectly or had no idea. 93.53% of students asked about pathogens causing AIDS said that was virus and over 6% of them said that they did not know or gave wrong answers.

 Almost 96.59% of students were well aware of the dangers of HIV / AIDS; 2.59% and 0.82% of them respectively answered incorrectly and had no idea. Only 45.65% of students told exactly all measures for prevention of HIV / AIDS transmission.
