ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate AIDS-related knowledge among adult men in Chongqing City, and provide some evidence for AIDS-related health education.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Using the randomized multistage stratified cluster sampling method, we investigated AIDS-related knowledge among the adult males in Chongqing City.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of the 1502 adult men, those who knew the three major transmitting routes of AIDS (blood-borne, vertical transmission and sexual contact) constituted 85.35, 83.16 and 66.11%, respectively, and 22.70% did not know the proper use of condoms. Those who thought that AIDS could be transmitted by mosquito bite, kissing, dining together, handshake or embracing made up 54.86, 50.6, 30.29 and 19.11%, respectively. The floating population scored significantly lower than the resident population in total AIDS knowledge, HIV transmission knowledge and HIV non-transmission knowledge (P<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>AIDS-related knowledge among the adult men in Chongqing City needs to be improved by enhancing targeted AIDS-related health education.</p>
