If you plan on having sex tonight you should read this. A survey conducted recently by the Leon County office of Health and Rehabilatative Services at area universities offers some insight into college student's attitudes about AIDS and sexual behavior. Ninety-four percent of the students surveyed knew the AIDS virus (HIV) destroys a person's immune system. Ninety-nine percent correctly identified the ways HIV is passed from person to person. Sexual contact and the sharing of contaminated needles are primary causes and mothers can infect infants during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding. Ninety-one percent knew that an "open sore (caused by syphilis, herpes, etc.) makes it easier for HIV to pass from one person to the next during sexual contact." Ninety percent correctly agreed that most people infected with HIV look and feel perfectly healthy at first. The state of Florida ranks third in the number of full blown AIDS cases in the nation, behind New York and California according to the Center for FLORIDA A&M Disease Control. Florida has an estimated 220,000 people who have been exposed to the RAJILERS virus. Twenty-two thousand have been diagnosed with AIDS and more than 14,000 have died as of June 30, 1992 NORTH CAROLINA A&T AGGIES according to the Florida HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report.
