ABSTRACT
The authors reviewed the studies on knowledge; attitudes; beliefs and practices regarding AIDS and HIV infection in Cameroon. Overall there is a clear increase on knowledge about AIDS among the different groups surveyed although misconceptions are still present which can lead to wrong attitudes towards infected people. The surveys undertaken to date have generally focused on knowledge and practices. More in depth qualitative data is necessary to understand sexual behavior. Behavior research should be linked to interventions to limit the increase of HIV infection
