Abstract: A cross sectional study was conducted on March 2006 by interviewing 281 secondary students at Mahidol Wittayanusorn School, Nakhon Pathom, Thailand. The study aimed to identify safe sex intentions and their determinants (and assess the characteristics of socio demographic variables, attitudes, subjective norms and safe sex intention to prevent HIV/AIDS). The instrument used for data collection was a self administered questionnaire. The study group represented an age range 13-19years and comprised an almost equal number of males and females. The majorities of students were living in dormitories (and were studying in mathayom 4, mathayom 5 and mathayom 6). The results showed that 70 percent of students had a high level of attitude towards HIV/AIDS prevention. Students had high level of attitude to being abstinence and stay with single known partner to prevention HIV/AIDS, relatively low attitude to use condom and avoid premarital sex. The attitude has statistically significant positive relationship with safe sex intention. The result also revealed that nearly 70 percent of respondents had good subjective norms and high level of good responds to their parents and teachers norms than friends. 60 percent of students had good intention to prevent HIV/AIDS, only 4 percent had poor intention. The Study found a statistically significant positive association between safe sex intentions and age, gender and mathayom. It is necessary to provide appropriate sex education in secondary schools and create a good environment in which students are able to discuss sexual and related problems with their teachers and parents. It is also important to encourage them to practice safe sex for HIV/AIDS prevention since they already have good attitude and intention.
