本研究对尼日利亚伊巴丹市大学生的艾滋病知识和性行为进行了评估。2001年，从伊巴丹大学医学、艺术和法律学院随机抽取了217名学生，并完成了一份调查问卷。学生年龄16 ~ 23岁，平均19.05岁；98.2%的学生报告输血是艾滋病毒/艾滋病的主要传播途径。其次是使用未消毒针头（97.2%）和无保护性交（93.5%）。异性传播途径排名第三。性行为方面，29%的学生性行为活跃。91.2%的人认为艾滋病毒/艾滋病是严重的健康问题。92%（92.6%）的人报告说，坚持与一名未感染的伴侣在一起是一种预防手段，88%的人报告说，使用避孕套是一种预防措施。然而，只有16.6%的受访者声称在过去3个月内曾与伴侣使用安全套。尽管他们对艾滋病毒/艾滋病有所了解，但许多人并没有实践他们所知道的。伊巴丹大学的学生性行为活跃，他们对异性恋途径作为主要传播途径的评价不足，这表明迫切需要为大学生开展有组织的艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防教育方案。
This study assessed the knowledge about HIV/AIDS and sexual practice of University students in Ibadan, Nigeria. Two hundred and seventeen students from the University of Ibadan were randomly selected in 2001 from the College of Medicine,Daculties of Arts and Law and completed a questionnaire. The ages of the students ranged from 16-23 with a mean of 19.05 years; 98.2% of the students reported blood transfusion as a major route of transmission of HIV/ AIDS. This was followed by use of unsterilized needle (97.2%) and unprotected sexual intercourse (93.5%). The heterosexual route of transmission was rated third. Sexual practice of the students showed 29% were sexually active. 91.2% considered HIV/AIDS a serious health problem. Ninety-two percent (92.6%) reported sticking to one uninfected partner as a means of prevention and 88% reported use of condom as preventive measure. However, only 16.6% of the total respondents claimed to have used condom with their partners within the last 3 months. Although they are knowledgeable about HIV/AIDS, many do not practice what they know. University of Ibadan students are sexually active and their under-rating of heterosexual route as a major route of transmission suggests the urgent need for an organized educational programme of HIV/AIDS prevention for the University students.
