Sex and HIV education programs: Their impact on sexual behaviours of young people throughout the world
More and more young people are delaying their marriage until they are older in developing countries. However, at the same time, they are also more likely to have sex before marriage, and this increases premarital pregnancy rates and Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD), as well as AIDs. Sex and HIV or STD education programs partially solves this problem. Written curriculum in sex and HIV or STD programs are implemented among groups of youth in settings like schools, clinic or community settings are the most promising form of education for now.
This research is carried out to determine the effect, if any, of the curriculum based sex and HIV education programs on sexually risky behavior, STD’s and unwanted pregnancy rates and the mediating factors (knowledge and attitudes) that effects those behavior. Also, the research covers the common characteristics of the curriculum-based programs that were effective in changing sexual risk behavior.
Adolescents or young adults aged between 9 to 24 years old were exposed to curriculum based sex or HIV education program. Then, they are later measured on their sexual activity, based on; Initiation of sex, Frequency of sex, Numbers of sexual partners and Condom use.
The study shows that the programs are more likely to have positive than negative impact on teenager and young adult’s sexual behavior. 65% shows positive effect on their sexual behavior, 7% of the participants developed negative effect from the program, and as for the rest, there are not much impact. A third of participants of the program claimed to have positive impact on their behavior or outcomes. Generally, participants shows increase of condom use, reduce the numbers of sexual partners and reduced unprotected sex.(Kirby, Laris,& Rolleri, 2007)
