Abstract
The study sought to describe HIV/AIDS knowledge and attitude among teachers in
Abuja, Nigeria. The study noted that teachers were knowledgeable about HIV/AIDS and
poor HIV/AIDS attitude persist. Among the respondents, statistically significant
relationship exist between education qualification and knowledge of MTCT of HIV during
pregnancy; between geographic location and the knowledge to clarify misconception
about HIV transmission; between gender and the knowledge of condom use; and
between the receipt of HIV/AIDS information or training on FLHE curriculum and the
procedural knowledge of discussing / teaching sexuality and HIV/AIDS issues with
fellow teachers or students. However, there is no statistical significant relationship
between the teachings of HIV/AIDS issues and the feeling that HIV/AIDS education
promotes sexual promiscuity.
