HIV/AIDS is a viral malady which is causing havoc with the lives of the people in the Punjab Province of Pakistan. It has become notorious in taking away the lives of the people due to the lack of awareness on the part of the victims. The chief sources of the mass prevalence of this disease are: contaminated water, reuse of needles and syringes, carelessness about blood transfusion, lack of awareness about the use of contraceptives while having sex, and non-sterilized shaving and surgical instruments. District Faisalabad, from the central Punjab (Pakistan) was the place where this present research study was conducted. Throughout the course of this research study, multistage sampling technique was widely employed. At first stage, out of four tehsils of district Faisalabad, one tehsil (tehsil Faisalabad) was selected randomly. At second stage, out of eight towns of tehsil Faisalabad, two towns (Jinnah Town and Iqbal Town) were selected randomly. At third stage, two union councils were randomly selected from each town. At fourth stage, a sample of 25 young people was drawn from each selected union council to make an overall sample of 200 respondents. An interview schedule was developed for data collection which was divided into two parts. Individual characteristics i.e. gender, age, conjugal status was included in the preliminary part of the questionnaire. The questions related to the awareness regarding HIV/AIDS were the part and parcel of the remaining part of the questionnaire. The major findings of this study are: majority of the respondents 68.0 % were males, 56.0 % of the informants were intermediate, 48.5% were disclosed during interview that they had adequate knowledge about the preventive methods of HIV/AIDS after blood test or blood transfusion, 30% respondents had no knowledge about the preventive methods of HIV/AIDS after blood test or blood transfusion, 76.0 % were un-married, and 42.5 % were of the view that their source of sexual health information was their friends. HIV/AIDS, no doubt, is a fatal malady but can be controlled by launching awareness campaigns via mass media informing people about the preventive measures such as insisting on new syringe during inoculation, secure and safe blood transfusion, abstaining from extra-marital activities, avoiding contaminated water, and refraining from using the razor, tooth brush, and towel of an infected person.
