Accurate knowledge influences attitudes. In the Context of HIV AIDS, accurate knowledge is essential to prevent infection and also for the care and treatment of those infected. The objective of the survey was to add some new knowledge about knowledge and attitudes concerning HIV AIDS. According to the U.S. Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, HIV cannot be transmitted from towels or toilet-seat, as the virus does not survive well in the environment making the possibility of environmental transmission remote. Since HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi; which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions, it does not spread or maintains infectiousness outside its hosts. It is not conveyed through biting, kissing and insect bites. Yet it is not uncommon for people to believe this to be a mode of transmission. Infections through Households and Other Settings. Although HIV has been transmitted between family members in a household setting, this type of transmission is very rare. These transmissions are believed to have resulted from contact between skin or mucous membranes and infected blood. To prevent even such rare occurrences, precautions, such as wearing of gloves during contact with blood, or other body fluid that may contain blood is recommended. Cuts, sores, breaks on both the caregiver's and patient's exposed skin should be covered with bandages. Hands and other parts of the body should be washed immediately after contact with blood or other bodily fluids. Surfaces soiled with blood should be disinfected appropriately. Practices that increased the likelihood of blood contact such as sharing of razors and toothbrushes should be avoided. Needles and other sharp instruments should be used only when medically necessary and handled according to recommendations for health-care settings.
