Background: This study aimed to determine high-school students’ knowledge about the AIDS in Ashkhane City, Iran, using Health Belief Model (HBM).Methods: This cross-sectional study was done on 384 female high-school students in Ashkhane City.

The mean scores of perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits and perceived barriers were 51.48 ± 13.04, 51.90 ± 18.97, 72.90 ± 23.60 and 53.74 ± 21.00, respectively.Conclusion: This study showed that high-school students’ knowledge about the AIDS was in the moderate level.
