Abstract

The threat of AIDS is widely recognized as an important educational problem, particularly in the college age population. To date, intelligent software has not been developed and employed to effectively disseminate the critical knowledge relevant to this epidemic. Since sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) as a group are a personal problem which few people feel comfortable discussing, the computer can provide an opportunity for learning about these diseases while insuring anonymity.
