[Use of the male condom at schools and universities: survey with 1065 young people].

From February 25th to June 28th of 1999, the authors carried out a prospective and descriptive study of the use of the preventive male condom in schools and universities through an anonymous inquiry questionary dealing with 1065 persons involving 650 boy students, 181 girl students, 128 college boys and 106 college girls. The questionnary involved 5 headings: the socio-demographic characteristics, the use of condoms, the sources of information and supply, the number of partners, and information about the prices. The inquiry essentially let out that: 56.4% of target population used the male condom. Boys used condoms more often than girls. Most of the boys who used condoms were unmarried. Young people used condoms for preventive purpose against STD/AIDS and for contraception in 82.5 cases. The reason more oftenly given by those who didn't like condoms was the reduction of the sexual delight. The mature age and highest level of instruction were factors predicting the use of condoms. About 2/3 of the information sources on condoms were from media. The drugstore was the main source of supply. More than half of the users wished an extension of the Condom commercialization. The problems of acceptability and access to condoms related more of religions and socio-cultural order than geographical and financial.

The impact of AIDS in a rural Ugandan community.

Three AIDS related surveys have been conducted on a community based cohort in the Kasangati defined area, Uganda, during 1987, 1990 and 1992. The 1987 baseline survey recruited 1990 adults, and in addition to assessing levels of knowledge, attitudes and practices, HIV serology was done on all the study participants. During the 1992 survey, our objectives were threefold: (i) to assess the attitudes and behaviours relevant to AIDS and to evaluate the magnitude of any changes since 1987, (ii) to assess the socioeconomic impact of AIDS and, (iii) to assess the effect of AIDS on the mortality trends in the area. It was found that the percentage of people who had ever used a condom increased from 4% in 1987 to 10% in 1992, but those who used condoms frequently remained the same at 1%. Sexual partner change was measured over a six month period and the percentage of people who had two or more sexual partners in this period was found to be 7% in 1992 compared to 26.4% in 1987. The five year mortality rate among the persons initially HIV positive was 44.7% compared to 8.7% among those initially sero-negative. AIDS has substantially increased the mortality rate in this community leading to reduced incomes for the families of persons dying from the disease, increased expenditure on medical treatment, and a new breed of orphans. The overall five year mortality rate was 10.6% (128/1204) but if the persons reported to have died from AIDS are excluded it is only 6.1% (73/1204).
