This study examines the spatial awareness of HIV-AIDS among students of tertiary institutions in Edo State Nigeria. Four higher institutions were selected for this study in the state and primary data were obtained from these institutions using questionnaire and personal observation. Secondary data used were obtained from published materials. The analysis of the data showed that awareness of HIV-AIDS in the high institutions is relatively high and most of the students were aware of its existence. Inspite of this, students were still found to be involved in acts capable of spreading the disease. Several measures were however recommended as a way of reducing the spread of the disease and treatment of infected persons.
