dc.description.abstractThe researcher investigated “Knowledge of Human Immuno Deficiency Virus / Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) among secondary schools adolescents in Zaria Metropolis: Implications for Counselling”. The problem of HIV/AIDS is alarming that the researcher tried to find out the actual knowledge of HIV/AIDS among secondary school adolescents in Zaria metropolis. The objectives of the study are to ascertain the level of knowledge on the causes of HIV/AIDS, the behaviour that leads to high risk of the infection, signs and symptoms and preventive measures used in reducing HIV/AIDS among secondary school adolescents in Zaria metropolis. For a representative view, the researcher randomly selected her samples and administered structured questionnaire on 431 adolescents. All the respondents returned completed copies of the questionnaire which were found usable because the items were properly and completely answered. Four research questions and hypotheses were set for this research. They focused on the level of knowledge of HIV/AIDS among secondary school adolescents in Zaria Metropolis. Frequency counts, percentages and independent t-test were the statistical tools used in the analysis of data procured from the research questions and hypotheses. The findings were firstly that there was significant difference in the knowledge of the causes of HIV/AIDS among secondary school adolescents in Zaria metropolis. Secondly, there was significant difference in the knowledge of behaviour that leads to high risk of HIV/AIDS infection among the subjects. Thirdly, there was no significant difference in the knowledge of preventive measures adopted to reduce HIV/AIDS among secondary school adolescents in Zaria metropolis. It was concluded that there was need for HIV/AIDS counselling for adolescents in general. The main recommendation was that information about HIV/AIDS should be made available to adolescents in their schools, hostels, homes, libraries, public gatherings and places of worship. Curriculum experts in health education are to incorporate concepts and topics on HIV/AIDS education in the contents of their textbooken_US
