Only 30% Of Married Men Use Condoms WIth Prostitutes

Only 30.5 per cent of married men who reportedly engage in “penetrative sex  with commercial sex workers use condoms,” a research has shown.
The study showed that out of the 1,396 and 459 married male respondent who  reside in urban and rural areas respectively, only 137 had used commercial sex  workers in the past six months prior to study and only 63 men had used a condom  at the last visit.
The Director-General of the National Agency for the Control of AIDS, Prof.  John Idoko, said this during the presentation on PreExposureProphylaxis by the  United States Mission.
According to him PrEP is the newest HIV prevention tool which involves the  use of Truvada, an antiretroviral to prevent HIV infection.
About 62 per cent of new infections, he said, occured among persons perceived  as practicing “low risk sex”, including married sexual partners.
Idoko cited three approaches that would aid the implementation of PreP,  including remodelling with data analysis. He added, “We want to do a feasibility  study in four states.”
Also speaking, the Director (Prevention, Care and Treatment) at the Health  International (FHI 360), Dr. Hadiza Khamofu, said infections in low risk  relationships were acquired through high risk sexual encounters
She cited a recent study by Dr. Taiwo Ijawogin of the University of Ibadan on  condom use with sex workers and abstinence among men Nigeria.
Speaking on ‘Discordancy trends in Nigeria’s PMTCT programme’, she stated  that the ante-natal care prevalence rate of 4.1 per cent exists among the 160  million populations, adding that pregnancy presents a period of higher risk of  acquiring or transmitting HIV infection.”
