This study is aimed at assessing the awareness of HIV/AIDS and changes in sexual behaviour among the Nigerian teens. Two hundred and fifty secondary school students were interviewed. Only 5% of the respondents were able to state the full meaning of HIV or AIDS. A minority (28%) believed that HIV was real while the majority (72%) believed that HIV infects whites only. Forty-eight percent of them have changed their sexual practices owing to the AIDS menace. A small percentage, 12%, believed that HIV/AIDS could kill. The study revealed low awareness of HIV/AIDS as well as misconception about the infection, especially in non-urbanized cities of Nigeria.
