Summary: Abstract: HIV/AIDS has become one of the most challenging public health issues here in the Philippines. Region III is one of the top regions with the most number of newly diagnosed cases. The disease grows faster among the youth because of lack of knowledge, high risk sexual behaviors and low use of preventive methods. This study aims to assess the knowledge and attitude on HIV/AIDS causes and prevention among young adults. It is conducted with the participation of 64 young adult respondents from Headwaters College Inc.-Elizabeth Campus in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan. The participants were asked to answer questionnaires based on HIV/AIDS modules of the City Health Office. Result showed that majority of the respondents are highly knowledgeable on HIV/AIDS. Most of the respondents failed to answer questions regarding HIV/AIDS transmission. Results also showed that the respondents have positive attitude towards HIV/AIDS. However, they are less open in accepting people who are HIV positive. Questions that the respondents failed to answer correctly were related to transmission; sharing of utensils with HIV positive people, drugs and excessive alcohol intake not contributing to the risk of HIV transmission, birth control pills or oral contraceptives being protective against HIV and transmission through saliva, sweat, tears and mosquito bites. Some were less open in accepting people who are HIV positive, especially their teacher. This study yields a result with the majority of the participants having high knowledge and positive attitude towards HIV/AIDS.
