“…The results show that age at initiation of sexual intercourse and the number of sexual partners within the year preceding the survey significantly contributed to the modelled probability of condom use. Takakura et al (2007) reported findings consistent with these. In this study, not using a condom every time was more likely among those sexually active students that had only one sexual partner in the year preceding the survey and who had experienced their first sexual intercourse at a younger age (7-16 years).…”

In South Africa, new HIV infections are concentrated among persons aged 15-24 years. The university population falls within this age group and are prone to higher-risk behaviours that place them at risk of acquiring HIV. In a study to assess this risk among sexually active students, we classified higher-risk sexual behaviours as not using condoms at every instance of sex, having had more than one sexual partner during the preceding 12 months, a relatively young age at first sexual intercourse (7-16 years), and experience of sexual violence and/or transactional sex. In total, 796 first-year students at the University of the Western Cape in Cape Town, South Africa, completed a self-administered questionnaire in 2006. The sample included 263 sexually active, unmarried students, aged 16 to 24 years. The responses showed that 62% did not use a condom for every instance of sex, 39% had two or more sexual partners in the previous 12 months, 53% had initiated sexual intercourse at a younger age (7-16 years), and 2% had ever exchanged money or gifts for sexual intercourse. Eight percent of the respondents said they did not give their consent or permission at initiation of first sexual intercourse. One in every 10 respondents claimed that they had ever been forced to have sexual intercourse, and 4% said that they had ever forced someone to have sexual intercourse. The sexually active students who reported an earlier age of initiation of sexual intercourse and having only one sexual partner during the last year were more likely to not use a condom every time, whereas the sexually active students that had experienced initiation of sexual intercourse while in an older age group (17-24 years) and who had two or more sexual partners in the last year were more likely to use a condom every time. Sexually active university students are in need of particular HIV-prevention interventions given their tendencies for poor condom usage and having multiple sexual partners.

“…The use of alcohol and cigarette smoking were strong predictors of early sexual debut in our study. Association between sexual engagement and alcohol use has been reported in numerous adolescent studies in different parts of the world including in the United States [28], the Caribbean [29], and Japan [30] whereas very little focus has so far been given to such relationship in the Nigerian environment. The repeated observations of the association between adolescent sexual initiation and alcohol use are in agreement with Jessor's cluster of risk behaviors among adolescents [31,32].…”

Background: Adolescent sexuality is an important subject of social concern because of its connection to negative outcomes like adolescent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. The timing of an adolescent's first sexual intercourse is thus a key variable affecting those negative outcomes. This study thought to determine the prevalence and predictors of early sexual debut among never-married adolescents in Ogbomoso, SouthWestern Nigeria. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study carried out between January and March 2016. Data was collected from a total of 447 never-married adolescents between 16 and 19 years using semi-structured interviewer administered questionnaires. Data was analyzed in SPSS version 20. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. Results: About a quarter (26.80%) of the adolescents were sexually active with mean age at sexual debut of 15.80 in girls and 15.40 years in boys. An average of 18.60% had experienced sexual debut before their 15th birthday, 16.60 % in boys, and 20.20% in girls. Polygamous family setting, peer sex education, alcohol use, and poor reproductive health knowledge were predictors of early sexual debut. Conclusion: The study concluded that early initiation of sexual debut is high among study participants that have initiated sex. Religiosity and good social behavior were found to be protective against early sexual debut. Therefore, there is the need to ensure effective programmes that will built upon the understanding of those factors associated with an increased likelihood of an early sexual debut.

“…It is important to note that the proxy used in the measurement of alcohol-related practices in this study was "alcohol use in the last four weeks prior to the study", which may or may not actually reflect the use of alcohol prior to sexual debut. However, noting that association between sexual engagement and alcohol use has been reported in numerous adolescent studies in different parts of the world including in the United States [ 34 ], the Caribbean [ 35 ], and Japan [ 36 ] whereas very little focus has so far been given to such relationship in the Nigerian environment, we considered it worthwhile to explore the relationship despite the potential weakness of our measure. Our finding in this dimension should be regarded as exploratory.…”

Predictors of early sexual initiation among a nationally representative sample of Nigerian adolescents

Background: Early sexual debut among adolescents is associated with considerable negative heath and development outcomes. An understanding of the determinants or predictors of the timing of sexual debut is important for effective intervention, but very few studies to date have addressed this issue in the Nigerian context. The aim of the present study is to examine predictors of adolescent sexual initiation among a nationally representative sample of adolescents in Nigeria.
