As a step to limit the spread of AIDS, condoms were supplied free of charge in Copenhagen in youth clubs in connection with personal advice. A representative group of young people (N = 745) and of social workers in these clubs (N = 130) were asked to complete a structured questionnaire. The investigation revealed that the young were well informed about AIDS and its prevention, but despite this, they comprise a relative risk group with regard to the spread of AIDS due to high numbers of partners and poor habits with regard to the use of condoms. The campaign was well received by both the young and the youth club social workers. There was an obvious need for a continuation of such a campaign. It is concluded that youth clubs are a good forum for AIDS information.
