ABSTRACT

A descriptive and cross-sectional study of adolescents from Santiago de Cuba municipality with ages between 16 and 20 years, belonging to different teaching levels was carried out in order to compare the knowledge level they had on HIV/aids during the first semester of 2012. Three study groups were formed (A, B and C), according to the teaching level. Group A was formed by preuniversity students; group B was formed by those of diverse careers not belonging to the medical sciences and group C, by those of the medicine career. A survey was made to measure each variable. It was verified that there were no significant differences in knowledge on the topic, in relation to the type and teaching level of where they came.
