| dc.description.abstract | The results discussed in this report are part of a
larger study conducted among the students of the
University of Botswana regarding their knowledge,
attitudes, and behaviors related to HIV/AIDS. The
study triangulated survey methods and focus group
discussions. Five main areas were investigated:
knowledge and personal experiences of HIV/AIDS,
sexual behavior and practices, perceptions about
risky sexual behavior on campus, and factors that
influence the spread of HIV. This article reports high
levels of risky behaviors such as alcohol and drug
abuse; unprotected sex; frequent change of sexual
partners; sex for financial gain, for prestige, for good
grades, to relieve stress, and because of peer pressure;
and casual sex as part of socializing. | en_US |
