Re: Predictors of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Knowledge among Jordanian Youths

Sir, the recent report on the knowledge of jordanian youths of human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) is very interesting.1 al-khasawneh et al. found that “hiv knowledge differed significantly by sources of information, with peer-acquired information associated with more accuracy, while hiv information from parents or health centres was associated with a lower score.”1 in fact, knowledge of hiv is an important issue to be investigated for the subsequent management, in any setting, of the hiv problem. one interesting finding in the present report is the source of the information. there is no doubt that youths usually acquire and rely upon information from their peers.1 luckily, the accuracy of information from peer groups in this report is satisfactory.
