According to the Global Fund working group, both Russia and the Sverdlovsk Region are among the places with the highest prevalence of HIV infection. We conducted a study on the awareness of students about HIV infection as a result of the primary prevention process among students at the Federal State Educational Institution of Higher Education named after the First President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin (hereinafter referred to as UrFU). 336 students of different specialties and areas of training were interviewed (N=336). The data we obtained allowed us to reveal some results: the respondents mostly correctly indicated the ways of transmission of infection, the timing and places of examination, they know about the availability of treatment and the possibility of having healthy children, more than half of the students know the HIV status of the partner, while 70% do not know their current HIV status (more than 12 were examined for HIV infection months, the majority of respondents use preventive measures during sexual intercourse, the risk of infection in behavior has no gender characteristics, but is characteristic of young (21-25 years old) and more mature (40 and older) age and primarily for non-partners.
