The difference in the distribution of responses was estimated using χ2, the prevalence of individual responses (extensive indicators) was compared according to the student's criterion. Based on our research, it was revealed that it is necessary to train and engage in volunteer activities for HIV prevention students of 4-6 courses, demonstrating leadership and organizational qualities, and within the framework of the" volunteer school" to pay special attention to the issues that have the highest rating among students.
