Objective:To know the awareness level of Pakistani population about AIDS.Methods:An online survey was conducted in Pakistan with the help of a questionnaire formulated by experts to record the awareness level of common people about HIV infection.The responses were collected and screened by the team of National Academy of Young Scientists,Pakistan.Results:Among the 580 participants of the survey,majorities were male,in the age group of 20-30 years and were living in urban areas.More than 80%of responders did not ever screen themselves for HIV and close to 40%were not aware that where to go for screening.Although,majority of the respondents knew about the nature of disease,they were not fully aware about different tests,treatment,duration of infection and vaccination.According to participants,television and internet were major source of information about AIDS and this disease can be prevented in Pakistan through public awareness.Conclusions:Since majority of the respondents were not fully aware about the disease and its mode of transmission,there should be print and electronic media campaigns as well as workshops and seminars to educate the common public.In addition,a national level prevalence study will be very helpful to know the exact prevalence of HIV in Pakistan and its major routes of transmission. 展开更多
