| المستخلص: | 1- Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is one of the most serious public health and development challenges facing the world today. Although the rate of HIV infection is low in Egypt, there is a need to educate Egyptians about the disease. And assess the prevalence of knowledge of modes of HIV I AIDS transmission and pr evention and attitudes towards persons living with AIDS. \ 2- Comprehensive knowledge of HIV/AIDS is defined as: knowing that both condom use and limiting sex partners to one uninfected partner are HIV prevention methods, being aware that a healthy-looking person can have HIV, and rejecting the common local misconceptions- that HIV I AIDS can be transmitted through mosquito bites and by sharing food \ 3- Although many women have a basic knowledge of AIDS, the proportions aware of ways in which the risk of infection can be reduced are generally low. Women are most likely to see limiting sex to one uninfected partner as a means of reducing the risk of transmission \ 4- To assess the extent to which women are aware of the ways in which AIDS can be transmitted from a mother to her child, and if the virus that causes AIDS can be transmitted during pregnancy, at delivery, or when breastfeeding. Around 70% women believe that the virus can be . transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy and at the time of delivery while about half think that it can be transmitted by breastfeeding. \ \ 5- Knowledge of pregnancy and delivery as modes of transmission is higher among urban than rural women and increases sharply with both educational attainment and wealth quintile. These characteristics are also associated with a somewhat greater awareness of breastfeeding as mode of transmission |
