“…Studies are replete with evidence to show that behaviors, particularly risky sexual behaviors (RSBs), are largely responsible for the spread and transmission of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. Such risky sexual behaviors include multiple sexual partnerships, sex at early age, and inconsistent condom use with casual partners (Awusabo-Asare & Annim, 2008;Bingenheimer, 2010;Federal Ministry of Health, 2005;Isiugo-Abanihe, 1994;Oyediran et al, 2010;Udoh et al, 2009; Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), 2010; Vu et al, 2011). It also includes extramarital sexual relationships (Coma, 2013;Mah & Halperin, 2010;Mishra & Bignami-Van Assche, 2009;Shelton, 2007).…”

“…Men were also generally found to engage more in extramarital sex in Nigeria (Ankomah et al, 2013;Isiugo-Abanihe, 1994;Izugbara, 2008;Izugbara & Nwabuawele Modo, 2007;Orubuloye et al, 1997;Oyediran et al, 2010), be the resident in urban or rural areas and irrespective of whether the men are in monogamous or polygynous unions (Orubuloye et al, 1991(Orubuloye et al, , 1992. The cultural precept of male dominance in Nigeria is believed to be responsible for the high prevalence of multiple partnerships among Nigerian men as this is seen as a feature of masculinity (Adeolu et al, 2014;Izugbara, 2008;Omololu et al, 2004;Vu et al, 2011). Essentially, studies on the associations between these factors and RSB among migrants are generally lacking.…”

This study compared risky sexual behavior (RSB) between migrant and non-migrant Nigerian men, and investigated the individual and community factors of RSB between the two groups. Data for the study were from the 2012 National HIV/AIDS and Reproductive Health Survey in Nigeria. It comprised 15,346 male respondents aged 15 to 64 years and made up of 7,158 non-migrants and 8,188 migrants. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, and multilevel binary logistic regression. More non-migrants (37.69%) than migrants (28.43%) were engaged in RSB. RSB among migrants showed significant differences in all explanatory variables except for place of residence and religion. Among non-migrants, significant differences existed between RSB and all the explanatory variables except for awareness of family planning and sexually transmitted diseases. The regression null model showed lower odds of RSB for migrants and non-migrants. In the full model, the intercepts increased odds of RSB for migrants (odds ratio [OR] = 8.55) and non-migrants (OR = 9.21). Variables which increased odds of RSB by migrants included employment status, religion, and place of residence. Education, employment status, wealth index, and place of residence were found to increase the odds of engaging in RSB among non-migrants. The study therefore concludes that social contexts matter for engagement in RSB.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health problem with a demonstrated link to increased sexually transmitted infection (STI)/HIV-related risk and vulnerability. While IPV is an important issue in Central America, the link to STI/HIV risk has not been explored in this region. In this study, the relationship between emotional and physical/sexual IPV and the STI/HIV-related risk behaviors of sex worker patronage and infidelity is assessed among male IPV perpetrators using data from a national survey conducted in 2009 in Guatemala (n = 4773 married/partnered men). Bivariate associations between background characteristics and emotional and physical IPV perpetration were explored. Logistic regression models were run to test associations between IPV for each sexual risk behavior. Perpetration of emotional and physical/sexual IPV was more common among married/partnered men who were older than 24, had more education, lived in urban areas, or were in common law versus married unions. Reports of past-year emotional IPV perpetration increased as wealth quintile increased. After adjusting for demographics and other characteristics, physical/sexual IPV perpetration was associated with past-year infidelity (AOR 1.9, 95% CI: 1.1-3.6). Lifetime emotional IPV (AOR 1.4, 95% CI: 1.1-1.7) and physical/sexual IPV 1.6 (95% CI 1.2-2.0) were positively associated with a history of sex worker patronage. Endorsement of traditional gender role norms showed a marginally positive association with past-year infidelity in the adjusted model (AOR 1.3, 95% CI 1.0-1.8). The study findings from Guatemala reinforce the growing evidence globally that male IPV perpetrators are more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior, including sex worker patronage and main partner infidelity. The concurrency of violence and increased STI/HIV risk may compound the health risks for female victims of IPV who also face injury and psychological trauma. Integration of prevention and screening of IPV and STI/HIV prevention services should be adopted in Guatemala and other similar contexts.

Background: Alcohol consumption is associated with risky sex, which increases the risk of acquiring and transmitting HIV. Objective: To examine the prevalence of, and associations among alcohol, risky sex, and HIV, in Nigeria. Methods: We searched electronic databases and reviewed reference sections of relevant papers to locate studies that sampled people living in Nigeria and assessed both alcohol and sexual risk behavior. We calculated effect sizes to determine (a) prevalence of alcohol and sex behaviors and (b) associations between alcohol consumption and risky sex, and examined moderators to determine if sample characteristics predicted behavioral or biological outcomes. Results: Of the 696 unique records identified, 35 manuscripts reporting on 42 separate studies met the inclusion criteria. Participants in these studies (N = 83,350; M age = 26 years; 48% women; 10% HIV-infected) reported high rates of heavy drinking (63%) and low rates of consistent condom use (24%). One-third of participants (30%) also reported using alcohol before sexual activity. Participants who consumed alcohol were more likely to report sexual activity (OR = 3.66, 95% CI = 3.09, 4.33), multiple partners (OR = 3.22, 95% CI = 2.38, 4.36), and condomless sex or inconsistent use of condoms (OR = 2.30, 95% CI = 1.54, 3.43). Conclusion: High rates of heavy drinking and low rates of condom use have been well-documented in Nigeria. Results from this meta-analysis can be used to inform critically needed alcohol-related HIV interventions.
