“…They prefer to meet with female service providers who are familiar with them and who are close to their own age. This finding is consistent with previous studies (Fothergill and Ballard, 1998;Poonkhum, 2003;Fatusi, 2005). Therefore, the results of this study suggest that youth reproductive health services should be located at a site that is convenient to youths, such as a school or mall, that is easily accessible.…”

“…However, the variable attitudes in this study may be due to a number of factors, including the weakening of traditional structures and instruments of social control (6,11,12). In an environment such as ours, where the standard of living is gradually becoming a nightmare, the level of poverty may account for the lust and avarice among youths.…”

“…Although, this may seem to discredit the imports of information and communication technologies (ICT). However, judging from the unprecedented quest and urge for foreign lifestyles, this could have a significant influence on the attitude and sexual behaviours of our youths (6,18). This may probably explain why increasing urbanization and globalization is now being examined to identify possible areas of adverse socioeconomic and health hazards (10).…”

“…One major concern has been the attitude of people to sexual practices (3). This has been widely reported as a major factor exposing youths and adolescents to high prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV/AIDS (4)(5)(6).

SUMMARY AIM: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are common among college students. Evidence suggests there may be increasing trend in females. This study assesses the differences in attitude to use of condom to determine the risk of infections among students. METHOD: A total of 880 students from College of Education Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria were assessed for attitude to the use of condom and relative risk of STIs, using the Sexual Risk Questionnaire. RESULTS: The mean age for males was 22.4 ± 4.7 years and females 21.9 ± 5.5 years. There were variable attitudes to the use of condom among students; 24.2% males and 21.9% females were used to unsafe sex with 1.105 (RR) of STIs at 95% CI; 34.7% against 27.4 % who were of the same HIV status had 1.179 (RR) at 95% CI; while 44.7% against 37.9% who claimed to be enjoying sex without condom had 1.132 (RR). The difference in relative risk of STIs was statistically significant in 29.4% of males and 32.0% of females who were pressured by partners not to use condom (p=0.024). CONCLUSION: Condom use is influenced by sexual practices. Negative attitude leading to its neglect encourages sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS among students. There is need for attitudinal change in order to control STIs in our environment [TAF Prev Med Bull 2011; 10(5.000): 519-526
