O knihe
Low Human Immunodeficiency Virus test uptake and multiple partnerships among men in Nigeria are contributing factors to HIV transmission. This quantitative cross-sectional study examined the relationship between HIV test uptake, sociodemographic characteristics, HIV knowledge, attitude, and multiple sexual partnerships using the health belief model as theoretical framework for the study. Data were collected from the 2013 Nigerian National Demographic Health Survey, which surveyed 17,359 Nigerian men ages 15-49 years. Findings showed that multiple sexual partnerships were higher among middle-aged men (25-39 years) in Nigeria and lower among Hausa Muslims. A well-tailored intervention that will promote follow up with men after HIV test uptake is essential to reduce the practice of multiple sexual partners among them. This may result in positive social change by presenting public health experts, donor agencies, and health teachers with valuable information about how multiple sexual partners and HIV testing can influence sexual risk behaviors among men. This may advance HIV prevention and control practices among men in Nigeria.
