Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) of senior secondary school students in Fako Division, Cameroon, regarding HIV/AIDS, focusing on their vulnerability to risky behaviors due to a lack of adequate information.
- A total of 464 students aged 13-25 participated, with most aware of HIV/AIDS and having their main information source as school sex education, although some misconceptions about transmission routes were noted.
- While the majority showed understanding of prevention, risky sexual behaviors were prevalent, with only 60% practicing safe sex, and half held negative attitudes towards people living with HIV, indicating a need for improved education and support.
