Demographic Factors and Sexual Self-Disclosure: HIV/AIDS Counselling Implications in Universities in Kenya

Abstract

The study set out to determine the relationship between student demographic factors and sexual self-disclosure with a view of discerning HIV/AIDS counselling implications in public universities in Kenya. Four hundred and fifty-six undergraduate students from Egerton University, Kenyatta University and University of Nairobi participated in the study. Results indicated that demographic factors such as age, gender, ethnicity, knowledge of languages and disabilities do not affect the level of sexual self-disclosure during voluntary counselling and testing (F (5, 449) = 2.21, p =.266). Implications of these findings on HIV/AIDS counselling are discussed.
