The measured effects of the independent variables using the Pearson r and hierarchical regression statistics indicated a joint relationship of the measures on HIV-AIDS altitudes of early adolescents. Similarly, participants' self-efficacy, El, knowledge of HIV/AIDS, and age also influenced their attitudes towards HIV/AIDS. These findings suggest that early adolescents' attitudes towards HIV/AIDS could be improved through the variables investigated.
