Abstract
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.
