Please see below. Is it correct? Do I need to add "the" in front of "low"? Is the use of plural right? Is the use of "regarding" right?

Hi Your sentence is fine as it stands. If you were referring back to a previous phrase or sentence, you could use 'the' if you wanted to: - We were concerned about a lack of understanding of HPV. Indeed, our study revealed the low levels of knowledge about curing HPV If you wanted to, you could use 'a' with the singular: - Our study revealed a low level of knowledge about curing HPV But,as said, your original sentence is OK Dave

Do I need to add "the" in front of "low"? No.
Is the use of plural right? Do you mean 'levels'? It's not good to repeat 'level(s) of knowledge'.
Is the use of "regarding" right? It's not wrong, but it's not good to repeat the word.
