HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that damages the body's immune cells, rendering a person more vulnerable to other infections and diseases. AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) can develop if HIV is 110t treated. The study determined the level of HIV knowledge and attitudes among students in La Union. The dependent variable is on the nature, transmission, prevention and treatment of HIV. The independent variables are age, sex, grade level and marital status. Data was analyzed and interpreted using SPSS version 23 and frequency percentage and mean were used. The study used the descriptive correlational method. The sample size was determined through Rao soft statistical analysis, a total of 675 respondents. The respondents have a slight knowledge regarding HIVIAIDS, so additional information is needed. This study highlights the lack of basic knowledge Oil the nature of HIV/AlDS, it's mode of transmission and treatment.
