Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) constitutes
an important health challenge for young adults worldwide as a
result of high prevalence of risk behaviors. Universities in Sub-
Saharan Africa including Nigeria are faced with the pervading
ramifications of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on a regular basis. Unfortunately,
institutions in the region are only slowly acknowledging
the ravaging menace of HIV. The aim of the present study was to
investigate the different types of sexual risk behaviors engaged by
youths and whether they have the knowledge of basic concepts on
HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases (STI).
