The obtained information indicates a lack of awareness among young people about HIV/STIs. Students showed low alertness about their own safety. There was revealed a high degree of communicative tolerance among students. It was established, that students have a sense of tolerance for the uncomfortable feelings of the partner during communication, and the lack of ability to hide their negative emotions about non-communicative qualities of the partner.</p>HIV infectionSTIspreventionstudentsawarenesscommunication tolerancerisky sexual behaviorВИЧ-инфекцияИПППпрофилактикастудентыинформированностькоммуникативная толерантностьрискованное половое поведение[Хрянин А.А., Решетников О.В., Шпикс Т.А., Бочарова В.К., Русских М.В., Маринкин И.О.
