 AB    Using an anonymous structured questionnaire to obtain baseline data on
       knowledge and attitudes of first-year black university students about
       the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and their attitudes
       towards homosexuals during 1990, 1991, and 1992 (ns = 1902, 2113, and
       1558), the following information was obtained. Students' knowledge of
       AIDS was inadequate and misconceptions about AIDS transmission prevalent
       as were prejudiced and exclusionary beliefs about people with AIDS.
       Little difference was evident on any of the scales over the three-year
       period.
