*Comprehensive knowledge means knowing that consistent use of a condom during sexual intercourse and having just one uninfected faithful partner can reduce the chance of getting HIV and knowing that a healthy-looking person can be infected with HIV, and rejecting the two most common local misconceptions about HIV transmission or prevention (mosquito bites and sharing food).
