The HIV/AIDS epidemic is spreading so rapidly in the world that very few countries can keep it out. The ruined effect of HIV/AIDS on individual, family, society, and even the whole world is far more serious than that of any other plague or war in human history. The present situation of HIV/AIDS epidemic is very grim in China, too. If China don't take more efforts to prevent and thus keep it under control as early as possible, it will be most likely that the number of people living with AIDS in China is the globally highest in the near future.Till now, no medicine and vaccine can eradicate AIDS, therefore prevention is the only effective strategy. Delivering AIDS education to let people acquire scientific and systematic knowledge and information about AIDS, and to direct people to adopt a healthy lifestyle and refuse to be contaminated by evil influence, is perhaps the most fundamental measure of prevention.This dissertation consists of the following four parts:In the first part, the relationship between education and HIV/AIDS is explored to reveal that educational system should be and is able to play an important role in fighting against AIDS epidemic, instead of staying aloof from the fight.In the second part, the situation of AIDS epidemic in the United State of America, Uganda and Thailand and their practices and experience in delivering AIDS education are introduced and analyzed. The reason why these three countries are selected is that: the United States is the country where the world's first AIDS case was reported and that delivered AIDS prevention education pretty early and has made great progress, representing the experience from developed countries in AIDS education; Uganda located in Sub-Sahara Africa was once among the countries where the situations of AIDS epidemic were the most serious yet the nation has made great progress in AIDS education after endless efforts; Thailand that lies in Southeast Asia is one of the countries where the situation of AIDS epidemic is the most serious in Asia and has made remarkable success in fight against AIDS, thereby setting a good example for Asian countries. Because the latter two countries are both representatives of developing countries, there is much of their experience that China can learn and make use of.In the third part, the present situation of AIDS epidemic in China is introduced, and Chinese efforts in AIDS education are summarized and reviewed.Finally, in view of the main problems in Chinese AIDS education and referring to the practices and experience from foreign countries, some countermeasures for China to promote AIDS education are provided for reference.
