ABSTRACT
The scourge of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has almost overwhelmed mankind of late and given a lot of sleepless nights to almost everybody. For over thirty years after the first case was diagnosed, scientists have not been able to find an antidote to help halt its spread. This dissertation sought to examine the attitudes of students of second cycle institutions towards HIV and AIDS prevention. The research work was carried out in Komenda Edina Eguafo Abrem (K.E.E.A) Municipality in the Central Region of Ghana. Five research questions were formulated to guide the research work. The sample for the study consisted of 300 students from three second cycle institutions in the K.E.E.A. Municipality. The study showed that though much education had been carried out in various places to help curb the spread of HIV and AIDS the fight should continue. The type of research design used was descriptive survey. It revealed that people should be encouraged to change their behaviours. This is because no matter how HIV and AIDS education is carried out, if the people are adamant and continue to do things in their indifferent ways the spread would still continue. Also, adolescents should abstain from pre-marital sex till they are matured for marriage. It further suggested the use of condom (male/female) to fight the spread of the HIV and AIDS epidemic. The sharing of the use of sharp objects such as blade should be discouraged as it is a factor to the spread of HIV and AIDS.
