Subjects and methods. An anonymous survey of 370 homeless people was conducted using a specially designed questionnaire.
Results. 79.5% of the respondents obtained information about HIV infection from the mass media (radio, television, newspapers). The information got from the mass media, as well as from physicians and friends, did not affect the level of knowledge about HIV infection in homeless people. The correct answer was given by 33.0% of the respondents on the routes of infection. The level of knowledge about HIV infection in the homeless people is lower than that in the representatives of other risk groups. The number of correct answers was established to depend on the respondents’ age. The level of knowledge about HIV infection was shown to be higher among the homeless people who had been previously examined for anti-HIV antibodies.
Conclusion. Actual pre- and post-test counseling in medical practice and assessment of its quality require additional study and elaboration of new approaches to improving its effectiveness.
