CHAPTER ONE
1.0 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The Joint United Nations
program on HIV/AIDS estimates that currently, there are 39.4 million people
living with HIV worldwide, with 4.9 million new cases of HIV infection in the year and 3.1
million deaths due to .AIDS. Of the approximately 40 million people afflicted
with HIV/AIDS worldwide, the top three locations are in nations of sub-Saharan Africa, with 25.4 million, cases, .followed
by 9.6 million combined cases in
nations of Asia Eastern Europe and 1 million cases in North America. A joint
report on the AIDS pandemic by .UNAIDS and the WHO pointed to steep increases
in HIV inflections in East Asia Eastern Europe and Central Asia between 2002-2004.
Many World health bodies
since the discovery of HIV / AIDS ·have been reporting frightening increases in
the prevalence rates - the virus and syndrome, particularly between adolescent and
youths. Half of the newly HIV infected persons are about 15,000. 6,000 per day and they are aged 15-,29 largely adolescents under
which undergraduates' falls. This alarming rate of spread of HIV/ AIDS also
includes Nigeria, where about 5.4% of adults (ages 15-49) are living with HIV /
AIDS.
University of Lagos,
Akoka, Nigeria of about 35,000 populations with 100 different cultures and
ethnic backgrounds. Student life in University of Lagos is very active and
dynamic and since these students are youths therefore, it is a common thing to
find them with common interests which can lead to best of times or worst of
times or a time
of marvelous new birth as a result of the friendship tie that are formed between boys
and girls and that are often centered around sex.
HIV voluntary testing is a
process whereby an individual willingly accept to go for a HIV test and before
the test is conducted, he or she is counseled, the counseling is aimed at
enabling the client to cope with stress and take personal decision relating to
HIV/AIDS. The counseling is provided to prevent further transmission of HIV and
provide psychosocial support to those infected. After the counseling, HIV
antibody test is conducted to identify the presence of antibodies to HIV in the
blood and afterwards a ·post - test counseling is carried out which will depend
on the test result.
Research evidence show
that undergraduate attitude towards HIV voluntary testing is a very important
factor in knowing the HIV status of the population of a nation like Nigeria who
is named among those countries where levels of knowledge of safe sex and HIV
remain low. For instance, student who cultivate negative attitude towards
voluntary testing are pure evidence that their perception about HIV/AIDS IS very poor therefore,
there is the need for intense advocacy for voluntary counseling and testing and
all undergraduates should endeavour to willingly go for voluntary HIV· test
which will held in curbing the increasing number of HIV transmission.
In the present circumstance. of this scourge of HIV/AIDS, voluntary counseling and testing is paramount and this is urgently needed, especially by the undergraduates who are seen as a vulnerable group and who are constantly influenced by the environment in which they live, particularly among their peers. Hence; there is the need for this research work to determine the attitude of undergraduates of the University of Lagos towards HIV voluntary testing.
1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The issue of increasing'
number of HIV infections and AIDS have become a global debate, since the
discovery of this killer virus reports have shown' the frightening increase in
the prevalence rates of the virus and. syndrome, particularly among adolescent
and youths. This alarming rate of spread of HIV infections and AIDS also
includes country like Nigeria where 5.4% of adults (ages 15-49) are living with
the HIV infection and AIDS.
Therefore, the study is
conceived to gain insight into the attitude of undergraduates of University of
Lagos towards HIV voluntary testing. It will try to find answers to the
following:
1.
Will students of University of Lagos be knowledgeable able
voluntary counseling and testing?
2.
Will students of University of Lagos consider VCT as
useful in preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS?
3.
Will students of University of Lagos know where to access
VCT Centres?
4.
Will students of University of Lagos know their HIV
status?
1.3 PURPOSE OF STUDY .
The major purpose of this
study will be to:
1.
Find out whether the attitude of undergraduates towards
HIV voluntary testing will be positive.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Since knowledge breeds action and
informed response then, there is the need to inform undergraduates of
University of Lagos the need for HIV voluntary testing which will make them to
know their HIV status and when this is known they are at the epicenter of
preventing the progression of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
The result of this
research will provide undergraduates the opportunities of awareness on safer
options, maintain safer sexual and drug- related behaviours.
It will also provide an
opportunity to further reduce the spread, burden and stigma of HIV/AIDS.
1.5 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
i. Will the student of
University of Lagos want to go for HIV voluntary test?
ii. Will the student of
University of Lagos accept the fact that VCT helps in curbing HIV transmission?
iii.
Will the student of
University of Lagos be able to name
two VCT Centres?
iv. Will the student. of
University of Lagos know their HIV status
1.6 HYPOTHESES
1. Students In University
of- Lagos will not be knowledgeable about HIV Voluntary Counseling and testing.
2. Students in University of
Lagos will not know their HIV status.
3. Students In University of
Lagos will not consider HIV voluntary counseling and testing useful in preventing the
spread of HIV
4. Students in University of
Lagos will not be aware of facilities offering HIV voluntary counseling and
testing.
1.7 DELIMITATION
The study was delimited
to only undergraduates of University of Lagos from two faculties namely:-
a.
Education
b.
Social Sciences
1.8 LIMITATION
The major constraint In
the course of study Was that of fatigue experienced by the researcher and the
administration of questionnaires, as most of the respondents were not ready to
sit and tick any questionnaire, most of the respondents were afraid to answer
questions on HIV / AIDS.
The collection and
coalition of data really proven difficulty due to the nature of research and
subject used.
