Observations revealed that level of knowledge was significantly higher in pregnant women from upper income group than low income group (P < 0.05). The misconceptions regarding various aspects of AIDS viz. symptoms and signs, transmission and prevention and opinion towards the AIDS patients, indicate that there is strong need of AIDS education compaign in pregnant women too.
