A questionnaire having 30 items of closed ended except three and subjective items were admini stered. Base line knowledge was assessed by pretest evaluation. Post-test evaluation was done two months after teac hing curriculum for two hours. Results: The knowledge of students after teaching curriculum regarding HIV/AIDS was high in all aspects when compared to pre intervention .
