Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) remains a major global health concern. This study explores awareness, public attitudes, and misconceptions about HIV/AIDS within a general community. A survey of 100 participants aged 18–50 years was conducted using structured questions to assess knowledge of HIV transmission routes, perceptions of openness, and social stigma. Results indicate that awareness of sexual transmission is high, but misconceptions about other transmission modes persist. Nearly half of respondents believe individuals with HIV should not disclose their status, reflecting ongoing stigma. The findings emphasize the need for continuous educational efforts to promote accurate knowledge and foster a supportive environment for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV).
