  ABSTRACT: Objective: To understand the current status of HIV/AIDS knowledge among freshmen in a frontier university and analyze the effectiveness of health interventions, providing references for formulating HIV/AIDS health education strategies. Methods: Using random sampling, 111 students from a university in the Dianxi region were selected as study subjects. Data before and after the HIV/AIDS health intervention were collected through questionnaires. Results: The study included 111 university students (69.4% female, 81.1% Han ethnicity). After the intervention, students’ awareness of key HIV/AIDS knowledge significantly improved (P P P P = 0.036), while other behaviors showed no significant changes. Conclusion: The health intervention effectively enhanced students’ HIV/AIDS knowledge, improved attitudes, and reduced heterosexual intercourse behavior, demonstrating positive effects on HIV prevention. This intervention model provides a reference for HIV/AIDS education in frontier universities and aids in developing more effective prevention strategies.
