This paper is based on the study of knowledge, attitudes, and behavioural aspects of HIV/AIDS among 1372 students of the University of Botswana. The study triangulated both quantitative and qualitative methods to espouse the knowledge, behaviours and attitudes of University of Botswana students on HIV/AIDS. Simple descriptive statistics were utilized to analyse quantitative data while grounded theory techniques were used to analyse the qualitative data. The purpose of the study was to identify the behavioural risk factors that predispose to HIV/AIDS and to recommend appropriate intervention strategies. Five main areas were investigated: knowledge and personal experiences on HIV/AIDS, sexual behaviour and practices, perceptions on risky sexual behaviour on the University of Botswana campus, and factors that students thought contributed to the spread of HIV/AIDS.
