| Abstract |
|
It is found from the investigation that knowledge of AIDS of the Hmong villagers is at a low level while their risk behavior of contracting the disease is at a high level. Married men have better knowledge about AIDS than other groups. Radio is the most available source of knowledge about the disease for the villagers and the language barrier is hampering their perception of the disease.
