EFFECT OF CONDOM IN PREVENTING SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES AMONG THE YOUTHS OF BENIN CITY, EDO STATE

ABSTRACT

          This study was conducted at the College of Education, Ekiadolor – Benin, Edo State of youths towards condom use.  A total of 200 youth drawn from this community and some youth who were also involved in this great institution of this study.

          The questionnaire designed by the writer was used to elicit information.  The implication drawn from this finding is that the likelihood of using condoms in sexually activities will also be attended with such ambivalence and complacency, thus creating a fertile ground for the spread of HIV/AIDS.

          In view of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, it is suggested that there should be mass media with particular emphasis on utilization of acquired skills.  There is also the need for a renewed sense of commitment towards dissemination of sex related information by parents to their children wards to ensure an improved attitudinal disposition towards condom use.
