a call for parental monitoring to improve condom use among secondary school students in dar es salaam tanzania
BMC Public Health, 2012Co-Authors: Linda B Mlunde, Krishna C Poudel, Bruno F Sunguya, Jessie Mbwambo, Junko Yasuoka, Keiko Otsuka, Omary Ubuguyu, Masamine JimbaAbstract:The number of people newly infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been decreasing in sub-Saharan Africa, but prevalence of the infection remains unacceptably high among young people. Despite the alarming pervasiveness of the virus, young people in this region continue to engage in risky Sexual behaviors including Unprotected Sexual Intercourse. In developed countries, parents can play important roles in protecting young people from such behaviors, but evidence regarding the impact of parental involvement is still limited in sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, we conducted this study to examine the magnitude of risky Sexual behaviors and the association of parental monitoring and parental communication with condom use at last Sexual Intercourse among secondary school students in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. We conducted this cross-sectional study among 2,217 male and female students aged 15 to 24 years from 12 secondary schools in Dar es Salaam. From October to November 2011, we collected data using a self-administered questionnaire. Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the association of parental monitoring and parental communication with condom use at last Sexual Intercourse, adjusting for potential confounders. A total of 665 (30.3%) secondary school students reported being Sexually active within the year prior to data collection. Among them, 41.7% had multiple Sexual partners, 10.5% had concurrent Sexual partners, and 41.1% did not use a condom at last Sexual Intercourse. A higher level of parental monitoring was associated with increased likelihood of condom use at last Sexual Intercourse among male students (AOR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.05-2.32; p = 0.03) but not among female students (AOR: 1.54, 95% CI: 0.71-3.37; p = 0.28). The association between parental communication and condom use at last Sexual Intercourse among both male and female students was not statistically significant. A high level of parental monitoring is associated with more consistent condom use among male students in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania -- many of whom have engaged in high-risk Sexual behaviors such as multiple Sexual partnerships, concurrent Sexual partnerships, and Unprotected Sexual Intercourse in the past one year. Interventions should thus be strengthened to reduce multiple Sexual partnerships, concurrent Sexual partnerships, and to improve parental monitoring among such students toward increasing condom use.

detection of hiv 1 rna in seminal plasma samples from treated patients with undetectable hiv 1 rna in blood plasma
AIDS, 2008Co-Authors: Annegenevieve Marcelin, Roland Tubiana, Sidonie Lambertniclot, Gilles Lefebvre, Stephanie Dominguez, Manuela Bonmarchand, D Vauthierbrouzes, Francoise Marguet, Nathalie Moussetsimeon, Gilles PeytavinAbstract:Five percent of 145 HIV-1 infected men enrolled in an assisted reproductive technology (ART) program harbored detectable HIV-1 RNA in semen, although they had no other Sexually transmitted disease and their blood viral load was undetectable for at least 6 months under antiretroviral treatment. This result justifies measuring HIV-1 RNA in semen before the ART process and suggests that a residual risk of transmission has to be mentioned to the patients who would like to have Unprotected Sexual Intercourse.

characteristics of individuals and couples seeking hiv 1 prevention services in dar es salaam tanzania the voluntary hiv 1 counseling and testing efficacy study
Aids and Behavior, 2000Co-Authors: Gloria M Sangiwa, Margaret C. Hogan, Olga Grinstead, Davis Mwakagile, Japhet Killewo, Steven E Gregorich, Claudes M Kamenga, Michael D Sweat, Kevin R Oreilly, Samuel KalibalaAbstract:The objective of this paper is to describe the baseline characteristics, risk behavior, and HIV prevalence of individuals and couples who enrolled in the Voluntary HIV Counseling and Testing Efficacy Study at the study site in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Participants were recruited through flyers, radio, and outreach to schools and workplaces to participate in a randomized clinical trial testing the effectiveness of HIV voluntary counseling and testing (HIV VCT) for prevention of new HIV and STD infections. Recruitment was stratified to include men and women enrolling alone and as couples. Baseline data were collected in face-to-face interviews, then participants were randomized to receive HIV VCT or health information. A total of 1,427 participants were recruited, 708 women and 719 men; 444 participants enrolled as part of a couple. HIV seroprevalence for those who received VCT at baseline was 21% overall (12% men, 30% women). Those enrolled as couples reported less Sexual risk behavior than those enrolled as individuals. Both couples and individuals reported high rates of Unprotected Sexual Intercourse with commercial partners. Overall 45% of participants self-reported an STD symptom (54% of women and 36% of men), and men were more likely to have received treatment for their symptoms. A large number of individuals and couples responded to advertisements for VCT in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. High rates of HIV seroprevalence and couple serodiscordance, self-reported STD symptoms, and Sexual risk behavior indicate that at-risk participants were recruited. Implications for delivery of HIV VCT and related services are discussed.
