후천성면역결핍증예방법을 제정할 당시에는 일반언론이 후천성면역결핍증을 호기심의 대상으로 보도한 경우가 많았으나 이제는 보다 객관적으로 다루기 시작하였다. 일반국민에 대한 교육과 홍보는 보다 과학적이며 근본적인 사실에 기초하기 시작하였다. 또한 그간 법의 시행과정에서 미비한 경우가 발견되는 경우가 있어 개정의 필요성이 증대되었다.

근간에 보도되고 있는 집단 성폭행에 관한 기사제목들을 살펴보면 '고교생 5명 이틀연속 여중생 집단성폭행', '부산초등학생 3명의 집단 성폭행 사건'등이 연일 신문과 방송으로 또한 인터넷으로 유포되고 있다. 아직도 남성우월주의가 사회 곳곳에 만연해 있지만, 문제는 이러한 일이 청소년들 사이에서 일어났으며, 보통 이야기하는 불량한 그룹에 속해 있는 청소년들만이 아닌, 공부 잘 하고 학급 반장까지도 했던 아이들이 함께 했다는 사실에 더욱 커다란 충격을 주고 있다. 자신들이 저지른 행위를 동영상으로 찍고, 공개한다고 협박하여 피해자들을 공포와 두려움에 떨도록 만들었다. 이러한 사건을 두고 교사들은 분노하기 이전에 답답한 심정이 된다. 그래서 어떻게 교육을 해야 할지, 가해자와 피해자가 되지 않으려면 어떤 교육이 필요한지를 생각해 보고자 한다.

This study was done by self reporting with a 67 items of structured questionnaire by 431 health care workers included doctors, nurses, laboratory technicians, and health educators. Data were collected at the time of completion of each AIDS education with the help of education program manager. Both the AIDS related knowledge score and the acceptance attitudes score were significantly higher in the male group, in the medical institution employer group, in the group who have met the HIV infected person, who has known the HIV positive person, and the group of laboratory technician, but the AIDS prevention intention score was statistically higher in the group of female and laboratory technician group. The post education scores of AIDS related knowledge. acceptance attitudes, and preventive intention were statistically higher than those of the preeducation. The most increased item among AIDS prevention intention list was 'I will provide the meeting between the HIV infected persons and the public (+21.9%)'. But even the decreased item among AIDS prevention intention list was 'I will advice to female not to have extra marital sexual contact to avoid AIDS(-3.1%)'.

Purpose: This study aims to identify factors influencing the stigma communication concerning HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)/AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) patients between health and medical college students. Methods: In this descriptive study, the participants were 158 college students from a certain university. Data were collected from September 18 to September 30, 2018. Self-reported questionnaires were used to measure AIDS-related knowledge, homosexual awareness, fear of HIV/AIDS patients and stigma communication. The collected data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, one way analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation and a stepwise multiple regression analysis using the SPSS 23.0 program. Results: The factors influencing the stigma communication between health and medical college students were a fear of HIV/AIDS patients (β=.47, p<.001) and homosexual awareness (β=-.15, p=.040), which together explained 28.0% of the variance in the model. Conclusion: The study findings suggest that an education program for health and medical college students should be developed. Additionally, when designing the education program, it is recommended that the contents for inducing attitude changes should include affective areas as well as knowledge-oriented contents. The study suggests that it is necessary to provide a systematic education program to decrease the stigma for HIV/AIDS patients before health care providers enter clinical practice.
