“…This is in contrast to a study conducted among Nigerian soldiers in Ilorin where condom use among respondents within the age range 18-34 years was reportedly low 21 . Another study conducted among clients visiting HCT center at Ogun state was at discordance with the finding of this study, where low use of condom among the younger clients was also reported 22 . A higher proportion of those who had never been in any marital union were recorded to have used a condom during their most recent sexual act compared to those who were married or living with a partner.…”

“…Level of education has been identified as a determinant of increased condom use in non-marital relationship 25 . On the contrary, higher level of education was found to be related to non-use of condoms during the most recent act of sexual intercourse in a particular study 22 . Condom use during last sex was increased among the richer wealth index in this study was corroborated by findings from other studies in Ibadan and also Lusaka which reported that condom use increased with improved socio economic status 26,27 .…”

“…The increase attention and publicity given to the use of condom among age group 18 to 34 years who are increasingly mobile, prone to risky sexual behavior and substance use is probably responsible for the increased usage though they are vulnerable. However, other studies showed low condom use during the last sexual intercourse among younger age group compared to their married counterparts 22,23 . Despite increased awareness of HIV infection, condom use in Nigeria remains alarming low even among people living with HIV 24 .…”

IntroductionMale condom use has been advocated to prevent unwanted pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI). Predictors of condom use will help in understanding groups requiring more interventions. This study aims at determining the prevalence and predictors of male condom utilization in Ondo State.MethodsThis is a secondary data analysis of the Nigeria National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) 2013 data set. Ondo state data was extracted. The study area was Ondo State, Nigeria. It was a descriptive cross-sectional study and it focused on men between ages 15-49 years. Descriptive statistics were done. Data was analysed using Chi-square test and logistic regression. Level of statistical significance was p<0.05. ResultsThe mean age of the 404 respondents was 29 ± 10 years, 215 (53.2%) were never in a marital union, 258 (63.8%) had secondary level of education. Out of 318 (78.7%) respondents who have ever had sex 91(28.7%) used condom at last sex. In age 15-24 categories 37(59.7%) used condoms while only 54(24.7%) used among respondents above 25 years, p<0.001. Among those who were never in any marital union 58(60.4%) used condom compared to 13(22.8%) of those who were living with partners, p<0.001. Men who were not in union had about 4 times odds of using condoms (OR 3.6, 95% Cl: 1.5-8.7, p=0.004).ConclusionTo reduce the prevalence of HIV/AIDS and transmission of STI emphasis needs to be put on the use of condom. Effort at promoting condom use should be encouraged among men in marital union especially those having extramarital sex.

“…HIV/AIDS stigma commonly occurs as the disease is perceived as being contracted only through extramarital sex. Hence, HIV positive patients experience stigma from close family members, colleagues in places of work, schools and religious gatherings where many still recognize the virus as “a curse” and HIV positive people as “sinners” [ 15 - 18 ].…”

et al. 2015

BackgroundWorldwide heterosexual sex is the most common mode of HIV transmission, with the marital heterosexual route becoming a major contributor in sub-Sahara Africa. This study examined the role of inappropriate HIV status disclosure, after diagnosis, on marital sexual experiences of HIV positive women.MethodsThe study employed a descriptive cross-sectional design. An interviewer administered questionnaire that elicited information about HIV status disclosure to partners, sexual experiences, condom use and parity was administered to 122 married women living with HIV/AIDS. Participants were referred from peripheral health centres to receive comprehensive HIV care at the State Specialist Hospital, Osogbo, Nigeria.ResultsMean age (SD) of respondents was 33.8 (8.9) years. Only 23.8% of partners had HIV screening, with 3.3% being HIV positive. A majority (62%) of respondents reported experiencing marital sex deprivation since their partners became aware of their HIV status. There was a reported rejection (74.3%) of condom use by partners during sexual intercourse. Fear of becoming infected (85.7%) and blaming the women for their positive status (85.7%) were the main reasons the respondents gave for being sexually deprived by their partners.ConclusionInappropriate status disclosure due to poor HIV counseling and testing (HCT) practices resulted in sexual deprivation of married HIV positive women. Adequate training and retraining of health care workers on HCT and HIV status disclosure will reduce experience of sexual deprivation among married HIV positive women.

“…This is commendable since consistent and correct use of condom has been widely recommended as a public health strategy against sexually transmitted infections, including heterosexual transmission of HIV infection [14]. This finding is in contrast to the study done in Osun State, Nigeria which shows a higher prevalence among married respondents [15]. Desire for children could have prevented the married from using condom [16, 17].…”

IntroductionCondom use and disclosure of HIV status increase the safety of sexual activity. Its extent will determine the need for appropriate interventions. The objective of this study was to identify determinants of condom use and disclosure to sexual partners among individuals receiving Antiretroviral Therapy at a tertiary health facility in South West Nigeria.MethodsA cross-sectional study of 578 clients enrolled in the ART program of Federal Medical Centre Owo, Ondo State Nigeria, was conducted.ResultsThe mean age of respondents was 38.6+9.6 years, more than half (66.6%) were females and 7% were currently married. Three-quarter were sexually active out of which 324(75.9%) used condom consistently and correctly and 323(75.6%) disclosed their status to their sexual partner. Use of condom was by 81% of those with tertiary education (p=0.002), and 84.5% of singles utilized condom (p<0.001). Determinant of condom use wwere, male (OR: 2; CI: 1.1- 3.3; p=0.013), secondary and tertiary education (OR: 3.69; CI: 1.48 - 9.19; p=0.005) and (OR: 4.79; CI: 1.84 - 12.44; p=0.001) respectively. Determinant of disclosure was being married (OR: 11.8; CI- 5.5-25.7; p<0.001). No significant association exist between disclosure and condom use.ConclusionMost of the people living with HIV accessing ART were sexually active. A good proportion of them used condom consistently and correctly. Disclosure did not have significant effect on condom use. More health education intervention to increase disclosure rate and safe sexual behaviour among HIV positive clients is needed.
