Sexual behaviour and condom acceptance among Nigerian drivers.

A survey of 180 randomly selected drivers was carried out in June 1994 in Ilorin, Nigeria in order to gain information about high-risk sexual behaviours, to ascertain condom use and to identify obstacles to condom acceptance so as to facilitate the design of an intervention to prevent Sexually Transmitted Diseases/Acquired Immuno-deficiency Disease in this target population. Data was collected through face-to-face interview. Three-quarters of the respondents were married. Multiplicity of sexual partners including casual and commercial contacts, was common. Half of the respondents engaged in high-risk sexual behaviour and a high proportion of them (60 percent) reported unwillingness to use the condom. This was mainly due to general dislike and lack of knowledge of the method. Risk perception was poor. These findings support the need for male reproductive health services especially for this sub-population.

Men's behavior change following infection with a sexually transmitted disease.

An analysis of data on 20-39-year-old men participating in the 1991 National Survey of Men finds that of 466 respondents who had ever had a sexually transmitted disease (STD), 25% had sex while infected. However, 85% of these men informed their partner of their infection before having intercourse. Black men were significantly less likely than whites to have had sex while infected. Overall, 29% of men with an STD did not modify their sexual behavior or condom use. Blacks, married men and men who were affiliated with a religious group were less likely than whites, single men and those with no religious affiliation to maintain the same behavior subsequent to the diagnosis of an STD infection as before. Black men were more likely than whites to start using condoms; blacks, religious men, less-educated men and those who were older when they had their first sexual experience were the most likely to stop having sex with casual partners once they learned that they were infected with an STD.

Alcohol consumption and sexually transmitted disease risk behavior: partner mix among male Korean university students.

BACKGROUND: This study examined alcohol consumption and sexually transmitted disease risk behavior as related to prostitute visits and sex partner mix among male Korean university students in 1993 to 1994. METHODS: Questionnaires were completed by a representative sample of 1103 university students in Seoul. Lifetime sexually transmitted disease risk behavior was categorized as none, only one, and multiple sexual experiences with prostitutes, whereas risk according to partner mix was classified as no sexual experience with prostitutes, sexual experience with prostitutes only, and with both prostitutes and girlfriends. The proportional odds model was applied to the data. RESULTS: A total of 25.8% of the university students had visited prostitutes--17.6% visited twice or more, and 12.9% had sexual experiences with both prostitutes and girlfriends. Heavier alcohol consumption was significantly related to multiple visits to prostitutes (odds ratio = 1.71) and to sexual experiences with both prostitutes and girlfriends (odds ratio = 2.30). CONCLUSIONS: In this first systematic study of the association between alcohol consumption and sexual experiences among Korean male university students, alcohol use was associated with risky sexual behaviors, and with first and most recent sexual experience with prostitutes, supporting our hypotheses.
