Abstract
A sample 893 students (397 females, 493 males) at a public school in New Delhi, India, were surveyed in grades 6 through 12. The survey instrument (questionnaire) had 99 questions and took approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes to complete. Anonymity was assured to the subjects. The survey revealed that Indian adolescents have limited knowledge about human sexuality and AIDS. Males scored higher than the females on both knowledge and AIDS scales. The higher the grade level, the higher the scores on both the scales.Entities:
