AB  - The results of a survey carried out in 1990 on the knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, 
      and practice (KABP) concerning AIDS are presented and discussed. The population 
      surveyed was a random sample of 474 secondary school students (SSS), aged 14-25, 
      in Banfora (Burkina Faso). Among the SSS, a high level of general knowledge about 
      AIDS as a sexually transmitted disease (92.2%) and about condoms (83.1%) is 
      noted. More specific knowledges however, such as the notion of seropositivity, is 
      less well understood (36.7%). Their sources of information are essentially the 
      radio (57.8%) and newspapers (45.4%). The SSS are afraid of AIDS and report that 
      they have changed their behaviour (71.7%). Sexual experiences at young age and 
      risky sexual behaviour (no use of condoms) are however reported. The place of 
      residence, religion, and job and income of their parents or other relatives they 
      are living with, seem to have no effect on the age of the first sexual 
      experience. At present, the SSS of Banfora are aware of the AIDS problem but have 
      not changed their sexual behaviour accordingly, even if they report having done 
      so. The SSS are a prime target population group for any AIDS prevention program.
