Background: Long- distance truck drivers to ease their loneliness often engage in high risk sexual behavior by having unsafe sex with fellow crew members or visiting commercial sex workers (CSW). Objectives: To study the awareness and attitude about HIV / AIDS among long distance truck drivers. Methodology: 440 long distance truck drivers parking their vehicles at dhabas near National Highway passing through Bijapur were interviewed. Data was collected using pretested questionnaire. Analysis was done using proportions and percentages. Results: Overall knowledge of the truck drivers about mode of spread of HIV/AIDS is good. 7% of the respondents did not know the role of mother to child transmission. Some of the respondents had the misconception that AIDS can be contacted by mosquito bite (20.90%) and kissing (33.63%). 76% of the respondents were exposed to CSWs and their practice of using condoms was not found to be satisfactory. Half of the respondents have positive attitude towards HIV/AIDS patients. Conclusion: The knowledge about HIV/AIDS is good among the respondents. Their exposure to CSWs is high but use of condoms is not satisfactory. They have average attitude towards the HIV/AIDS patient. There is a need promote safe sex and consistent condom use. IEC activities need to be strengthened for creating better awareness and attitude towards HIV/AIDS infection.
