Study of HIV infections knowledge and attitude level among Biomedical sciences
undergraduate in UKM Kuala Lumpur campus (KKL) session
2011/2012.
Research Topic:
HIV◦Human Immunodeficiency Virus◦Cause the AIDS (Acquired
Immunodeficiency Syndrome)
◦Prevalence: ≈ 34 million people living with HIV in year
2010 (WHO 2011). More than 100, 000 people living with
HIV (M’sia). (UNGASS 2010; Ni & Htet 2012)
Introduction:
Malaysian HIV/AIDS Knowledge
Malaysian young adults were found to be lacking of knowledge on HIV/AIDS (Wong et al. 2008).
UMS medical students generally showed high knowledge on HIV but still with some misconceptions (Ni & Htet 2012)
Cross-sectional study on:◦Knowledge level◦Attitude level of Biomedical sciences student
Provide information for future HIV awareness or education program among undergraduates
Importance of Study:
Research Question:
Is the HIV infections knowledge and attitude level GOOD among Biomedical sciences undergraduate UKM KKL 2011/2012?
Research Hypothesis:
•The knowledge and attitude regarding HIV infections is good among Biomedical sciences undergraduate UKM KKL 2011/2012.
General objective:
•To study knowledge and attitude level of HIV infections among Biomedical sciences undergraduate UKM KKL 2011/2012.
Specific objectives:
1. To find out knowledge and attitude level regarding HIV infections among Biomedical sciences undergraduate
2. To determine the association of HIV infections knowledge level with gender, race and year of study.
3. To determine the association of HIV infections attitude level with gender, race and year of study

Discussion:Overall:
Moderate knowledge level High attitude level
Knowledge level associated with year of study and races
However, attitude level do not associated with gender, races and year of study.
Research by Asian Muslim Action network (AMAN), 2005:
Mosquito & insect (21%)
Kissing (50%) Food & drinks
sharing (18%)
Research by Ni & Htet 2012 (UMS, M’sia):
Physical contact (21%)
Discussion: Research by
Maswanya et al. 2000 (Japan):
Mosquito & insect (11.5%)
Misconception of our respondents – HIV transmission:
Mosquito & insect (12.6%)
Kissing (28.4%)Food & drinks sharing
(10.5%)Physical contact (0%)
Better Knowledge
level
Discussion: Attitude of our
respondents: HIV patients are not
immoral (74.6%) Can make friends
with them (72.6%) AIDS are not God’s
punishment (53.2%)
Research by AMAN, 2005: HIV patient have no
morality (48%) HIV patient are
living in sin (52%) HIV patient are
helpless (70%)
Better Attitude level
Knowledge level associated with year of study and races

Conclusion:
Overall, o Knowledge level is MODERATE.o Attitude level is GOOD.o Knowledge level is associated
with year of study and race
