Qualitative data were analyzed by using analytic induction and constant comparison method. (2) To evaluate the AIDS and sex education learning management model for secondary school students.

After the experiment, AIDS and sex education knowledge scores of the experimental group were not significantly different than the control group at 0.05 level.
