Three hundred ninety-eight randomly selected Nigerian adolescents were surveyed using well structured questionnaires to collect all information on their knowledge, attitude, beliefs and practice regarding AIDS. The questionnaires were carefully administered and analysed. Most of the respondents, aged 10-20 years, were born in metropolitan cities (83.9%), grew up in such cities (93.2%) and have always lived in them (92.7%). Only 37.9% of them knew the causative agent of AIDS, although 96% claimed to have heard of the disease called AIDS. Seventeen percent (17%) knew all the important routes of transmission and 19.1% identified the groups at high risk for contracting AIDS. Limited knowledge and practice of preventive measures were demonstrated. AIDS was identified as a serious health problem for the world but not yet for Nigeria. Nigerian urban youths have been found to be sexually active with multiple sexual partners. Their knowledge of AIDS is limited, and few of them practice preventive measures. They should, thus, be regarded as a high risk group. Coordinated health education programmes coupled with communication and involvement of these youths should be urgently undertaken.
