Knowledge on HIV spread is important in combating HIV/AIDS, however its impact
can only be realized if put into practice. This study was carried out in a Higher
Learning Institution in Moshi Township in Kilimanjaro Region to assess the level
of awareness of university communities about HIV/AIDs and its link with practice
of risky sexual behaviors (RSB). We have found an adequate level of knowledge on
the spread, risk behaviors and methods for protection leading to attendance to
voluntary testing and counseling by 61% of respondents. Conversely, we have
observed great extent of practice of RSBs including early sexual debut (16.7
years), having multiple and extramarital partners, involvement in practices that
lead to unprotected sexual intercourse. We report an obvious gap between
knowledge and behavior. This study therefore recommends that serious operational
interventions must be put in place targeting the most sexually active groups, the
youth in preliminary schools to sensitize on RSBs and ways to avoid them before
they are engaged in sexual activities.
