Abstract: HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa generally is believed to represent about 80% of all deaths. This mind-boggling statistics on mortality resulting from HIV infections may be assumed to be largely a function of the majority of the people living in this region not knowing their HIV status. It is also assumed in this study that if people knew their HIV status (through test) and the associated risk of not taking appropriate action on time, there is a higher probability that deaths resulting from HIV/AIDS opportunistic disease would drastically reduce. Health-related behaviour especially that which would effect change, in any society, seems to depend largely on the people`s perceptions, cognitions, beliefs and attitude generally to what is meant by health and disease in that society. This study is an investigation into the attitudes of undergraduates toward testing for HIV/AIDS in a Nigerian second-generation University. Using a simple random technique and with the use of a researcher-constructed questionnaire based on a 4-point Likert type format, relevant information was elicited from respondents drawn from 8 faculties of the University. Data collected were analyzed through univariate statistical analysis. This study has shown the enormous task of changing health-related behaviour, especially in traditional societies, as we have in Sub-Saharan Africa. It has also brought to the fore, the fact that although many people generally want to remain uninfected and probably not to infect their partners, they may not want to learn their infection status in Africa and if they do, they may use such knowledge for several strategic purposes. Stakeholders all over are urged, therefore, to network in the fight against the HIV virus which has become a ghastly disease and great threat to the continued existence of many developing nations in particular and all nations generally.
