| dc.description.abstract | Assessment of the view of senior school students on HIV/AIDS was carried out in Offa Local Government Area of Kwara State, Nigeria with the aim of investigating the general views of senior school students on HIV/AIDS. Random sampling technique was employed to select 10 schools comprising both public and private schools while purposive method was used to sample 300 biology students across the selected schools. Sharing of blade, needle or any sharp object with another person had higher risk of contracting HIV account for 89.3% of the respondents, followed by casual sex intercourse with an infected person and prostitutes. It is therefore recommended that HIV/AIDS and sex education should be incorporated into the Biology curriculum of senior secondary school students in Nigeria. Also, more emphasis should be made on abstaining from early sexual activities and parents should be encouraged to talk about sex values to their children. | |
