Özet

As well known, community pharmacists are important resources for health information. Their education, experience and accessibility to public make them important community resources for the health promotion and disease prevention. HIV/AIDS is a growing problem worldwide. The purpose of the study is to determine the level of knowledge and education need of community pharmacists on HIV/AIDS. Randomly selected 150 community pharmacists were surveyed in Ankara. A standard questionnaire was administered to pharmacists in their pharmacies. Results show that although the knowledge on some aspects of HIV/AIDS is fairly good, they have some misconceptions regarding HIV/AIDS transmission. They also maintained they were willing to take part in activities in their pharmacies to prevent HIV/AIDS.
