- W20786598 abstract "Background : Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) are a major health problem affecting mostly young people in both developed and developing countries. Insufficient knowledge about STDs is a major impediment to successfully prevent the diseases among adolescent populations in developing countries. Objective: To assess the knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases among secondary school students in Osisioma Ngwa L.G.A. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study among secondary school students. A multistage sampling procedure involving simple random sampling and stratified sampling methods was used to select 400 students from four schools. The data were collected using a semi-structured, self administered questionnaire. Results: The level of awareness of STDs among respondents was highest for HIV/AIDS (89.2%), gonorrhoea (84.8%) and syphilis (65.2%). However, awareness was very low for chlamydia (13.2%) and trichomoniasis (16.7%). Out of the 400 respondents, 96.8% had heard of STDs. The symptom of STDs that the respondents knew most was painful urination (66.5%). Conclusion : The respondents had a moderately good knowledge of the prominent STDs such as gonorrhea, syphilis and HIV/AIDS but poor knowledge of STDs such as chlamydia and trichomoniasis. Keywords : Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Students, Knowledge" @default.
