The questionnaire was designed to measure knowledge of sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS by reviewing the relevant literature and consulting expert panels for item production in the initial step. The next step was to assess the instrument’s face and content validity. The internal consistency (Cronbach’s α) and interclass correlation coefficient were used to evaluate the reliability of the questionnaire&lt;span style=color:black&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;span style=font-size:12pt&gt;&lt;span style=font-family:Times New Roman,serif&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=font-size:10.0pt&gt;&lt;span style=font-family:Cambria,serif&gt;&lt;span style=color:#4f81bd&gt;Findings:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=font-size:10.0pt&gt;&lt;span style=font-family:Cambria,serif&gt; The face validity of the developed scale was considered appropriate, with an impact score greater than 1.5. The content validity, measured through the content validity index and content validity ratio for knowledge items related to sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS, varied from 0.80 to 1. The Cronbach’s α was 0.88 for sexually transmitted infection knowledge items and 0.86 for HIV/AIDS knowledge items. The interclass correlation coefficient values for the sexually transmitted infection and HIV/AIDS knowledge items were 0.86 and 0.85, respectively, indicating satisfactory reliability outcomes.&lt;span style=color:black&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;span style=font-size:12pt&gt;&lt;span style=font-family:Times New Roman,serif&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=font-size:10.0pt&gt;&lt;span style=font-family:Cambria,serif&gt;&lt;span style=color:#4f81bd&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=font-size:10.0pt&gt;&lt;span style=font-family:Cambria,serif&gt; The questionnaire on sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS knowledge for Iranian young adults demonstrates satisfactory validity and reliability. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;  </abstract>
