This study investigated the influences of AIDS information on HIV coping intentions and attitudes toward people with HIV/AIDS (PWH/A). 197 university students answered a questionnaire examining the following three-step “influence process model of AIDS information”: (1) experiences of receiving three types of AIDS information (basic information, information for HIV infection and protection, and information for living with person with HIV/AIDS [PWH/A]) and the amount of each information will influence three types of AIDS knowledge (basic knowledge, knowledge for HIV infection and protection, and knowledge for living with PWH/A), (2) these three types of AIDS knowledge will influence two types of cognitive factors (severity and vulnerability) and intensity of fear toward AIDS, (3) these three factors will influence HIV coping intentions and attitudes toward PWH/A. Results showed that, for attitudes toward PWH/A, each type of AIDS information had a positive effect on each type of AIDS knowledge respectively. These knowledge formed cognitive factors and intensity of fear toward AIDS, which formed attitudes toward PWH/A. The influence process of AIDS information on attitudes toward PWH/A was close to what was predicted. Whereas, for HIV coping intentions, two cognitive factors and intensity of fear toward AIDS did not have significant effects, but AIDS knowledge had positive effects on HIV coping intentions.
