These were drawn from Kinondoni Muslim Secondary school, Biafra Secondary School and the Family Health International (FHI) at Kinondoni Municipal in Dar-es-salaam City. Key findings revealed that most youths in Dar-es-salaam City have a narrow knowledge base on HIV/AIDS preventive information.Tradidional and cultural believes are among the barriers in accepting the HIV/AIDS preventive information among the youths. Findings revealed that most youths/respondents preferred seminars and conferences to receive HIV/AIDS preventive information which is the lowest method used to fight the epidemic in the City. Based on the findings, it is recommended that all youths should be equipped with knowledge/education on HIV/AIDS so that they can accept the HIV/AIDS preventive information in order to fight the epidemic.
