University students are often a sexually active group that is at risk of acquiring and transmitting HIV. This risk depends on their level of knowledge towards the disease. Hence, HIV/AIDS related knowledge represents the acquisition of scientific facts and information regarding the symptoms, way of transmission, adverse consequences, and prevention strategies of the disease. Therefore, this study aimed to assess level of HIV/AIDS related knowledge among regular undergraduate students of Madda Walabu University, Southeast Ethiopia.
