Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk sexual behavior
among college students and bar ladies.
To meet the objective, the Hawasa University students, bar ladies found
in Awassa, and customers participated in the study. The number of
respondents was 480 (180 male students, 150 female students and 150
bar ladies). The students were selected using stratified random sampling
technique. However, bar ladies were chosen using simple random
sampling technique. In addition 40 respondents (10 male students, 10
female students,
10 bar ladies and 10 customers) participated in
interviews.
o
The data obtained through the questionnaire were entered, cleaned and
analyzed using the SPSS software, and analyzed and interpreted through
Mean, Standard Deviations, One way -ANOVA and Tukey multiple
comparison test. The data gathered through interviews were analyzed
and interpreted using thematic analysis.
The study found out that college students had better knowledge about
HIV / AIDS than bar ladies. However, in practice bar ladies were more
protected from HIV / AIDS. They were better in HIV / AIDS prevention
strategies than college students. College students had more favorable
attitude towards VCT than bar ladies. Mass media (TV and Radio), anti-
AIDS clubs, school and health institutions were the major sources of
HIV / AIDS information for college students and bar ladies. Finally, it is
very helpful encouraging college students to transfer their knowledge
about HIV / AIDS in to practice.
