| Abstract: | The paper examines the influence of HIV/ AIDS media campaigns on the sexual behaviour of Kogi State University Students. Survey research method was adopted while questionnaire was used as an instrument of data collection. Findings show that the students of Kogi State University are exposed to the campaigns on HIV/AIDS on a regular basis. Findings also reveal that the media have been very effective in their campaigns against HIV/AIDS and that the messages on HIV/AIDS have been able to give adequate information on the dangers of unprotected sex. The study concludes that the media have given enough attention to the issue of HIV/AID campaigns, but the extent to which the campaigns influence the sexual behaviour of the students is low. The paper, among, others, therefore, recommends that the mass media should use behavioural change communication in their campaigns against HIV/AIDS. |
