Approximately 300 late adolescents were surveyed to assess their knowledge of AIDS, and to determine if and how their sexual behavior had changed as a result.

Findings are discussed in terms of the need for AIDS education, and recommendations are presented. 1 table, 24 references. (Publisher abstract)
