旧金山高中的白人青少年比黑人青少年更了解艾滋病（后天性免疫缺陷综合症）的病因、传播和预防，而黑人青少年也比拉丁裔同龄人更了解。黑人和拉丁裔青少年对艾滋病偶然传播产生误解的可能性大约是白人青少年的两倍。对艾滋病的了解较少和普遍存在的误解与感染艾滋病的感知风险较高有关。
White adolescents in San Francisco high schools were more knowledgeable than Black adolescents about the cause, transmission, and prevention of AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), and Black adolescents were more knowledgeable than their Latino peers. Black and Latino adolescents were approximately twice as likely as White adolescents to have misconceptions about the casual transmission of AIDS. Less knowledge about AIDS and prevalent misconceptions were associated with greater levels of perceived risk of contracting AIDS.
