Why is it important?
our findings provide an important basis in understanding key factors which expose students to HIV infections. The study highlighted peer pressure among students as an influence in promoting risky sexual behavior.
Perspectives
The incidence of HIV and AIDS continues to be a source of great concern within universities in South Africa. Furthermore, university students constitute an important community in the intervention against the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Students in the age group of 15–24 years are at a greater risk of HIV infection than any other group in the country; yet, little is known about why they continue to engage in risky sexual practices.
