Abstract

Close
- Comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) is seen as a key instrument through which to affect behaviour and improve sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes amongst adolescents. However, few studies have to date evaluated key SRH outcomes following exposure to CSE within a school setting. This study estimates the association between CSE and HIV testing and HIV testing self-efficacy amongst HIV positive adolescent girls. Data were collected from a cross-sectional survey administered in four high HIV prevalence districts. Independent variables included exposure to CSE, with outcome variables measuring uptake of HIV testing in the 12 months preceding the survey, and HIV testing self-efficacy. The sample comprised 505 HIV positive adolescent girls aged 12–19. Attending CSE was associated with both; being more confident to get an HIV test (AOR: 2.44, 95% CI: 1.47-4.06, p < 0.001) and having ever tested for HIV (AOR: 2.15, 95% CI: 1.39-3.33, p < 0.001) while controlling for numerous variables. Results suggest CSE can play an important role in not only affecting HIV-related behaviours themselves, but also critical factors that affect HIV behaviours, including self-efficacy.
