Abstract :

This study sought to examine the effect of gender on HIV and AIDS education and sexual behaviours of secondary school students in Obollo–Afor education zone of Enugu State. One research question and one null hypothesis guided the study. Quasi–experimental design was adopted for the study.The population of the study comprised 2,853 SS II students in 38 public secondary students in the education zone. 285 SS II students formed the sample for the study. 30–item structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the respondents. The instrument was validated by three experts from University of Nigeria, Nsukka in the field of Education. Cronbach Alpha was used to determine the internal consistency of the instrument which yielded 0.83 coefficient value. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research question. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was employed to test the null hypothesis. Findings showed that HAEP had more positive effects on the female students more than their male counterparts. The interaction effects between HAEP and gender was significant (p > 0.05). Conclusions were drawn based on the findings of the study.
