The current research
endeavours to identify the knowledge of students of Social Work about AIDS in
relation to how it influences their lives on issues of social prevention. It is
specifically focused on matters of behaviour and attitudes towards health
protection (sexually transmitted diseases); it explores practices that the
students, with their special education, use to identify the risks they are
exposed to in order to take precautions and consequently to prevent serious
situations that may lead to insurmountable problems decisive for society. The
method used for data collection was structured questionnaires. The
investigation results are presented with the formulation of specific research
hypotheses/questions, which were examined by using the method of qualitative data
analysis. Taking into consideration that the total sample consisted of a
small number of men and a large number of women, who then reported to have
sexual relations, as well as society’s tendency that encourages men to brag
about their sexual conquests while almost stigmatizing women, overestimation
for males and underestimation for females cannot be excluded. The conclusion of
the research’s results shows that young adult students seem quite knowledgeable
about their sexuality, protection measures and the risks at hand. At the same
time though there are several deficiencies related to the source and
transmission of correct knowledge which need to be covered. Additionally, it
emphasises the prevalent mentality in conjunction with the influence that the
family has in Cyprus, since parents function as powerful role models for their children.
