Abstract
The purpose of conducting this research was to investigate the relationship between attitude
toward HIV/AIDS and the degree of sexual behavior among university students in Kenya and the United
States of America. The sample consisted of 240 university students out of which 121 were from Kenya
while 119 were from the United States. Pearson Correlation and Multiple Regression were used to
analyze the data. Three hypotheses were tested to find out the relationship between attitudes toward
HIV/AIDS as measured by a modified version of the Texas Southern University AIDS Risk Survey
Schedule and sexual behavior of targeted college students at the .05 alpha level or better. The findings
showed that attitude toward HIV/AIDS contributed significantly to the degree of sexual behavior among
university students in the United States independently, and both universities combined but not among
Kenya students
