The social construction of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) transmission and prevention is explored using data obtained from 25 in-depth interviews conducted with French- and English-speaking college students, aged 17-22 years old, in Montreal. The content of common sense knowledge, its relationship to scientifically based safer-sex guidelines, and the strategies used by young adults to construct their reality of Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV) transmission and prevention are described. A single rule of HIV protection predominated for these young adults: protection through selection of uninfected partners. The implementation of this rule varied based on gender and sexual experience. The gender based rules and roles reflect a continuing double standard with respect to sexual activity which result in differences in men's and women's ability to protect themselves and in the content of constructed safer-sex strategies. Implications of these findings for educational policy are discussed
