Abstract

This study investigated the level of awareness of undergraduate students on HIV and Hepatitis viruses. Descriptive statistics as well as bivariate correlation has been used in order to survey the data. Results showed that the majority of undergraduate students at Near East University have a high level of awareness about HIV, while a significant number of them do not have sufficient knowledge about Hepatitis virus. A positive significant correlation between the level of Hepatitis awareness and students’ attitude towards family efforts on educating them about contagious diseases was found.
