根据联合国艾滋病毒/艾滋病联合规划署2004年的一份报告，智利的艾滋病毒/艾滋病疫情刚刚开始。无论分类如何，艾滋病毒/艾滋病的累积发病率每年都在增加。年轻的智利人一直是受影响最严重的群体；但他们对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的知识、态度和担忧尚不为人所知。这项研究描述了智利大学生对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的相关知识，他们对感染病毒的担忧，以及两个变量之间的相关性。方便抽样的45名大学生在口头同意参与本研究后回答了一份匿名的自填式问卷。总体而言，学生的艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关知识水平良好，77%的学生对至少85%的问题做出了正确回答。尽管有这些知识，近56%的学生表示他们并不担心感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病。两个变量之间的非显著统计相关性证实了这一情况(p>；0.05)。这些结果与其他国家的文献一致，并加强了进一步研究的必要性，以澄清为什么大学生不担心艾滋病毒。大学生中的大多数受过良好教育，从事的行为会使他们面临感染病毒的风险。
According to a 2004 report by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, Chile has an incipient HIV/AIDS epidemic. Regardless of the classification, every year the cumulative incidence of HIV/AIDS increases. Young Chileans have been the most affected group; still, their knowledge, attitudes, and concerns about HIV/AIDS are not known. This study describes Chilean university students' HIV/AIDS-related knowledge, their worry about getting the virus, and the correlation between both variables. A convenience sample of 45 university students responded to an anonymous self-administered questionnaire after orally consenting to participate in this study. Overall, students had good levels of HIV/AIDS-related knowledge, with 77% responding correctly to at least 85% of the questions. Despite this knowledge, almost 56% of students stated that they were not worried about getting HIV/AIDS. The situation was corroborated by a nonsignificant statistical correlation between both variables (p >.05). These results are congruent with literature from other countries and strengthen the need for further research to clarify why university students, the majority of whom are well-educated and engage in behaviors that place them at risk for contracting the virus, do not worry about HIV.
