Background and Objective: Adolescents represent a crucial population for HIV/AIDS prevention, yet their literacy and engagement with digital health resources remain inadequate. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the influence of chatbot literacy, trust in artificial intelligence, and HIV/AIDS sensitivity on HIV/AIDS literacy among late adolescents. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in August 2025 involving 926 students from senior and vocational high schools, recruited through stratified random sampling. Data were obtained via a validated questionnaire assessing HIV/AIDS literacy, chatbot literacy, AI trust, AI openness, chatbot choice, and HIV/AIDS sensitivity. The digital survey was distributed using QR codes. Descriptive statistics summarized characteristics; Chi-square tests identified associations; logistic regression determined independent predictors (odds ratios, 95% confidence intervals). Ethical clearance and informed consent/assent were secured. Results: HIV/AIDS literacy differed significantly by age, gender, school type, and internet access (p < 0.05). Bivariate analysis showed that chatbot literacy, AI trust, and HIV/AIDS sensitivity were significantly associated with HIV/AIDS literacy (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis confirmed that AI trust (p < 0.001), chatbot literacy (p = 0.032), and HIV/AIDS sensitivity (p<0.001) remained significant independent predictors. Conclusion: HIV/AIDS literacy among adolescents is shaped by digital competence, AI trust, and health awareness. Strengthening these aspects may enhance youth engagement with health information and support preventive behaviors.
