Book excerpt: This Thesis is dealing with knowledge about HIV/AIDS, attitude and risky sexual behavior of female students at University of Botswana.Presumption is that as female students progress academically their knowledge of HIV/AIDS is increasing leading to reduction of risky sexual behavior.This may not be correct since there are various socio-economic, cultural, religious reasons why this particular group gets involved into risky sexual behavior despite being well educated on risks of HIV transmittion. Authors are looking into various factors that may influence that decision and concluded that this particular cohort get engaged in risky sexual behavior despite being well educated and may act as a vehicle for HIV transmission.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The HIV/AIDS has killed more than 25 million people since it was first recognized in 1981, making it one of the most destructive pandemics in recorded history. The adolescents generally tend to have highs levels of knowledge about the meaning of HIV transmission. However somewhat lower levels of knowledge about effective means of protection lack some critical information and hold a number of misconceptions about the risks associated with casual contact. Knowledge about HIV/AIDS is clear important young people to preventive actions such as condom use. The aim of this study was to determine the level of knowledge, attitude and practices related to HIV/AIDS prevention among secondary school students in Klang district. A cross-sectional study design was used. The study population was secondary school students in Klang district. Data was collected from 9th of February to 28th of March 2009 using a pre-tested self-administrated (Bahasa Malaysia) questionnaire. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 16.0. Out of the 2273 student; 61.7% were male. Majority were Malays (37.2%) followed by Chinese (35.7%) and Indians (26.0%). The mean age ranged from 14 to 18 years. The overall mean age among the males (15.48 SD ±1.14 years) was not significantly different from that of the females (15.49 SD±0.04 years) (t + -0.26, df = 2271, p>0.05). The main sources of information for HIV/AIDS awareness reported by the respondents were the print media (62.3%). The overall mean knowledge score of the respondents was 7.01 (SD ±3.62) and ranged from 0 to 15 points. One hundred and eighteen students 5.2% obtained 0 (zero) marks in knowledge questions score and 88.8% of students had less than 75% of full marks in knowledge question score. The result of this study revealed that although the majority (77.7%) of students knew that AIDS is fatal disease almost 52% were not aware that there is no cure for AIDS and only 23.7% knew that there is no vaccine that can stop people from getting HIV. More than half of the participants believed that HIV transmission was possible through casual contact with HIV-positive persons, such as sharing food (68.6%), sharing a glass of water (71.1%) and from mosquito bites (60.4%). Abstaining from sexual intercourse, having one uninfected faithful sex partner and use of condoms as an HIV prevention measure was not well understood among the participants, as indicated by incorrect response rate of 55.7%. 63.5% and respectively. Mean attitude score toward HIV/AIDS was 25.32 (SD ±3.60) and ranged from 8 to 45 points. Mean practice score regarding HIV/AIDS was 4.53 (SD ±1.063) and ranged from 0 to 6 points and mean sexual behavior score was 3.73 (SD ±0.78) and ranged from 0 to 6 points. The results also showed that knowledge of respondents was significantly associated with age (F =33.41, p = 0.001) and academic grade (F = 31.47, p = 0.001). Attitude related to HIV/AIDS was significantly associated with age (F = 10.52, p =0.001), mother's education (F =2.87, p =0.035) and academic grade (F = 21.03, p = 0.002). The practice of respondents related to HIV/AIDS was significantly associated with gender (F = 153.95, p = 0.001), age (F = 9.32, p = 0.001), religion (F = 2.82, p = 0.024), family income (F = 2.88, p= 0.035) and academic grade (F = 4.56, p = 0.001). In conclusion, the result of study showed that the level of knowledge related to HIV/AIDS among secondary school students in Klang is not satisfactory. There is considerable misconception regarding transmission and prevention of HIV/AIDS. The respondents seem to have unfavorable attitude on the prevention of HIV/AIDS. Among 6.1% of student that admitted to have ever had sexual intercourse, only 43.1% of them reported that they or their partners used condom at last sexual intercourse. It is recommended that peer-ed intervention on improvement of knowledge, attitudes and behavior of secondary school children related to HIV prevention be implemented.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HIV and AIDS is a major cause of death in most sub-Sahara Africa countries and research shows that older adolescents and young adults are at great risk of HIV infection. It is therefore important to understand and alter those beliefs and practices that put young people at risk of HIV infection. An exploratory mixed-method approach was employed with secondary students in Gaborone, Botswana which examined their beliefs about the attitudes and behaviours of their peers in relation to the risk of contracting HIV and AIDS and their perceptions of those strategies that may curtail the spread of infection. Phase One (the qualitative component; n = 216) informed the construction of the survey instrument employed in Phase Two (the quantitative component; n = 593). Findings indicated that adolescents rated the level of risk that their peers would contract HIV and AIDS as very high. However, there was a tendency by most adolescents to transfer personal vulnerability to others. Participants perceived that, in spite of having significant knowledge relating to HIV and AIDS, many of their peers participated in behaviours linked to HIV infection. These behaviours included heterosexual activity, nonuse of condoms and concurrent multiple sexual partners - factors that have been identified in other studies. Analysis of data from Phase One suggested that a two-stage decision-making process determined adolescent involvement in at-risk behaviour. The first stage of this decision-making process was an initial intention, which most often was to avoid risk behaviours. The second stage involved a reframing process that often overturned the initial intentions. This resulted from an array of internal and social pressures associated with the journey from adolescence to young adulthood. Results from both Phase One and Phase Two indicated that a number of the reframing pressures for males and females differed. Females indicated that they faced pressure for involvement in intergenerational sex while males indicated that peer acceptance and social pressures often led to circumstances involving sexual activity. For both males and females, an important mediating practice in the reframing process was the use of alcohol and drugs. The two-stage decision-making model suggests that a reduction in adolescent potential for risk-taking behaviour depends on programs that simultaneously increase the strength of adolescents' initial intentions while reducing the reframing pressures and mediating practices. This leads to a series of recommendations that includes helping adolescents develop those life-skills that enables them to withstand the pressures impacting their initial intentions.
