Implication

Cross-sectional analysis shows gaps in STI knowledge and behavior among students, suggesting urgent education needs.

Key Points

  • Only 58.5% of students showed adequate knowledge of HIV/AIDS, highlighting significant knowledge gaps.
  • Despite 72.4% reporting condom use, only 28.6% practiced consistent use to prevent STIs.
  • Key demographics affecting knowledge included residence, education level, and gender—rural students faced more stigma.
  • Integrating STI education and implementing stigma-reduction campaigns is crucial for better outcomes.
