This was common among females 44% than males 40% who did not only engage in sex for monetary gain but also for sexual satisfaction. Contraceptive use was low among adolescents of 29%.Adolescents found reproductive health information helpful though the study did not adequacy of this information. report Adolescents (98%) had knowledge of STI/HIV/AIDS information. Most adolescents (45%) felt comfortable to discuss issues of sexuality with peers. The majority of the adolescents (76%) did not have a youth friendly corner in the area and those who had were not satisfied with the services offered.Adolescents throughout Lusaka engage in numerous behaviour that put their reproductive health at risk. The potential adverse consequences of sexual activity are well known - STI, AIDS, unwanted pregnancies and unsafe abortions , lack of information, limited access of family planning services, unplanned sporadic nature of sexual relations and lack of awareness of the likelihood of pregnancy, STI and HIV/AIDS are factors in lack of use. There is an urgent need for expanding and improving reproductive health services. It is also important to implement interventions and strategies that would best meet the needs and have the greatest appeal to those for whom they are intended." @default.
