- A high proportion of adolescents still engage in risky sexual behaviours that put them at risk of infection complications of risky sexual behaviours including Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection despite the different interventions already in place. This study was designed to determine the adolescents’ knowledge of HIV, intention to engage in risky sexual behaviour and sexual practices. A 3-stage sampling technique was used to select 240 adolescents in senior secondary schools in Ibadan, Nigeria. Data were obtained using a pretested, semi-structured, self-administered questionnaire. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square test at 5% level of significance. The mean age of the respondents was 16.3±1.4 years and 126(52.5%) were females. Only 34.3% had good knowledge of HIV and there were misconceptions about its transmission. Most of the respondents (95.0%) had intention to engage in risky sexual behaviour and those with good knowledge of HIV were willing to engage in risky sexual behavour with familiar people. Good knowledge was associated with intention to engage in low-risk sexual behaviour. Seventy-nine (32.9%) were sexually active and they had better knowledge of HIV. Knowledge of HIV was low among this study group and was not associated with their intention to engage in risky sexual behaviour. There is need for more effective and appropriate school and community-based intervention programmes which can impact positively on the adolescents’ sexual behaviour. 1 results 1

- Although controversial, smokeless tobacco use has been implicated as a gateway for smoking. Furthermore, most existing studies did not explore the potential of smokeless tobacco use as a proxy for receptivity to cigarette advertisement rather than an independent predictor of smoking. This study sought to determine the independent effect of smokeless tobacco use, as well as exposure and receptivity to cigarette advertisements on smoking intention among Ghanaian youths. Secondary data obtained from Ghanaian adolescents who participated in the Global Youth Tobacco Surveys conducted during 2006 and 2009 were analyzed using Stata version 13. Data analysis was restricted to current non-smokers and included descriptive and inferential statistics. Intention to smoke for both survey years was associated with: smokeless tobacco use, (OR = 3.74: 95% CI = 2.63–5.32), limited exposure to anti-smoking media messages, (OR = 1.70: 95% CI = 1.09–2.65), being offered cigarettes by tobacco representatives (OR = 2.19: 95% CI = 1.42–3.37) and reporting having both parents (OR = 4.42; 95% CI = 1.84–10.59) or a lot of friends (OR = 3.03: 95% CI = 1.87–4.89) who were smokers. Smokeless tobacco use and exposure to tobacco industry’s promotional activities independently influenced smoking intentions among youths in Ghana. Therefore, complete ban of all forms of tobacco products promotional activities needs to be intensified. 1 results 1
- Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a very common sexually transmitted infection responsible for some cancers including cervical cancer. Despite nearly half of the Nigerian population being at risk (women <25), vaccination uptake against the infection is still less than 5%. Methodology: This cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted using a multi-stage sampling technique. A semi-structured questionnaire was administered to 300 in-school adolescents aged 15-19 years, across 15 private and public secondary schools in Ibadan-North and Ibadan North-West of Oyo State, whose parents gave consent. The data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS v21. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was used to measure internal consistency reliability while categorical tables were compared using chi-square and regression analysis with a p-value <0.05. Results: The mean age of respondents was 15.8 ± 0.84 years. Half of them were females (52.3%) and also attended private schools (56.3%). Very few of the respondents had heard about HPV (21.0%) and HPV vaccine (12.7%), however, more than half had heard about cervical cancer (55.3%). Few respondents had good knowledge (11.0%) and positive perception (27.0%) of HPV, cervical cancer and HPV vaccine. The major source of information was social media (46.2%). Half of the respondents reported intention to take the vaccine if recommended by their family doctor (56.3%) and if given parental approval (52.0%), however, many (60.7%) were concerned about the vaccine’s side effects.Conclusion: Findings show that parents and health workers influence adolescents’ HPV vaccination uptake.The study thus recommends the prioritization of parental involvement in HPV vaccination. Parents and health workers should therefore be targeted as key stakeholders in driving the awareness of HPV and uptake of HPV vaccine among adolescents. 1 results 1
- Background: In view of sociocultural norms surrounding marriage and childbearing in South West Nigeria, fertility desire may be stronger among remarried women living with HIV. This article describes the characteristics of remarriage and its relationship to fertility desire. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among HIV-positive women aged 18–49 years at the Antiretroviral Treatment (ART) clinic, College of Medicine/University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria between November and December 2015. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and generalised linear models. Results: Overall, 123 (17.3%) of 711 women had experienced remarriage. Significant factors among remarried women were a lack of formal education (ORadj = 3.35, CI: 1.46–7.72); polygamous family (ORadj = 2.65, CI: 1.71–4.12), and serodiscordant union (ORadj = 1.97, CI: 1.14–3.41). Fertility desire was expressed by 410 women (57.7%). After controlling for demographic, socio-economic, and HIV-care characteristics, remarried women were 2.5 times as likely to have fertility desire compared to their counterparts who never remarried (ORadj = 2.49, CI: 1.43–4.33). Younger age was significantly associated with higher odds of fertility desire. Other factors negatively associated with fertility desire were education (ORadj = 0.30, CI: 0.12–0.74) and number of surviving children (ORadj = 0.28, CI: 0.22–0.34). Conclusion: HIV-care and treatment programmes need to pay attention to reproductive concerns, especially among women in second and higher order marriages. 1 results 1
