Objective To analyze the current status of awareness of AIDS knowledge and sexual behavior characteristics among university students in Hunan Province,and to provide data support for improving AIDS prevention and control in universities in Hunan Province.Methods We conducted a network questionnaire survey on awareness of AIDS knowledge and sexual behavior characteristics among 10,011 students from 5 universities in Hunan Province.The awareness status of AIDS knowledge and its influencing factors among the university students were analyzed.Results A total of 9,991 valid questionnaires were retrieved,with the effective rate of 99.80％.The total awareness rate of AIDS knowledge was 86.34％.The awareness rates of male homosexual behavior as the main mode of AIDS transmission among young students in China and AIDS as an incurable disease were 73.15％and 70.36％respectively.There were statistically significant differences in the awareness rates of AIDS knowledge among university students of different genders(x2=10.210,P=0.001),grades(x2=109.836,P＜0.001)and specialties(x2=75.533,P＜0.001).Multivariate analysis revealed that the awareness rate of AIDS knowledge was higher in female students than in male students(OR=1.16,95％CI:1.02-1.32),higher in sophomores(OR=1.98,95％CI:1.70-2.31)and juniors(OR=1.61,95％CI:1.33-1.95)than in seniors(OR=2.48,95％CI:1.70-3.63),and higher in students majoring in literature and history(OR=2.02,95％CI:1.60-2.56),science and technology(OR=2.18,95％CI:1.73-2.75)and medicine(OR=3.35,95％CI:2.31-4.84)than in students majoring in sports and arts.The awareness rate of AIDS knowledge was lower in students acquiring AIDS knowledge through other means(OR=0.70,95％CI:0.57-0.84)than in students acquiring the knowledge through school education.The awareness rates of pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylactic drug use were 55.90％and 45.56％respectively.In this study,885 university students had sex(8.86％).The consistent condom use rate in premarital sex was lower in male students than in female ones(60.49％vs.68.26％,x2=5.546,P=0.019).The consistent condom use rate was higher in students with single sex partner than in students with multiple sex partners(69.17％vs.36.84％,x2=56.836,P＜0.001)as well as higher in students with heterosexual behavior than in male students who had sex with men(64.68％vs.52.56％,x2=4.514,P=0.034).Conclusion The awareness rate of AIDS knowledge among the university students in Hunan Province needs to be further improved,the condom use rate in high-risk sexual behavior is low,and there is an obvious separation between knowledge and practice.Attention should be paid to improving the university students'concept and awareness of safe sex behavior and enhancing the publicity and education on prevention and control knowledge before and after exposure.
