Abstract: The present study was an effort to know the preference of media for imparting AIDS education among the adolescent girls (16-18 years). Sample was selected from the Government and Private institutions, two schools from each. The research was an attempt to identify their sources of information and their preference for media and the strategies adopted for imparting HIV/AIDS education programme. The sample comprised of 100 respondents from East Zone of the Jammu City. Systematic and random sampling technique was adopted. The tool used for obtaining the information was close-ended questionnaire. The findings revealed that T. V. news, Newspaper articles and conversation with friends / peers were found to be the most preferred media for receiving the information. Majority of the respondents, from both government and private schools emphasized on imparting AIDS education. 50% of the sample from both these categories preferred Group Approach but in separate group for boys and girls. Majority of sample from both of the categories preferred safe sex for the prevention of AIDS, though not sure about their efficacy. A lot more still needs to be done for combating a campaign against this dreaded disease. Political parties, religious leaders and the NGOs should join hand for this humanitarian purpose. Besides, the psychologists are also of the view that mere classroom teaching alone will not solve the problem, unless the programmes are framed as per the situation for correcting viscious behaviors like injecting drugs, indulging in heterosexual activity, homo sexuality etc. which would help in reducing the infected number in the long run.
