摘要：

Young people aged between 13 to 29 years old make up 34% of the cumulative number of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) sufferers in Malaysia. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of knowledge, attitude, and perception of HIV among students in University. The research design is cross-sectional. Questionnaires were distributed to 372 respondents. Results found that 52.4 percent students had a good knowledge. There was a positive but weak correlation between KA (r = 0.23) and KP (r= 0.19) with significance (p< 0.05). In conclusion, increases in the level of knowledge of HIV contributed to a positive attitude and perception while also reducing the stigma and discrimination towards people living with HIV/AIDS.
