 AB    Adolescents and young adults compromise one of the fastest-growing
       categories of AIDS cases. The results of an opinion survey taken of 3242
       adolescents raise serious doubts about the prevalent view that high-risk
       behaviour is attributable to insufficient information and education on
       AIDS: female adolescents are found to be at risk despite having the
       proper knowledge. Five chief factors affected the knowledge and
       behaviour of adolescents: age, gender, origin, family profession, and
       parental education. Each of the subpopulations (females, younger
       adolescents, children in rural areas) has its own characteristics and
       needs. We describe a permanent and long-term intervention programme,
       which might be applied in any country.
