Abstract

The popularity of online social networking has created new conditions for high-risk sexual behaviors and brought new challenges to AIDS prevention and treatment. Taking young students in Chengdu as an example, this paper investigates their differences in knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to HIV/AIDS, as well as their network use and network communication. Further, it analyzes the extent of the influence of network social networking on HIV-related high-risk sexual behaviors of young college students in Chengdu. The results show that the impact of online social networking on young students presents a complicated situation, mainly affecting the acquisition of sexual knowledge. However, the network information that is difficult to distinguish between true and false may harm the AIDS awareness rate. The Internet helps young students find sexual partners, but they still prefer to develop sexual relationships in the real world. In addition, “differing knowledge and practice” is relatively common, and the atmosphere of sexual openness is widely prevalent among young students. Therefore, we must pay attention to the norms of network information and strengthen the network sex education work. Still, we also need to pay attention to the role of family sex education.
