The WHO African Region is severely affected with 3.4% of adult population living with HIV. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), a country experiencing recurrent armed conflicts for two decades and where sexual violence has been used as a weapon of war by foreign and local terrorist groups, the HIV prevalence is estimated to be 1.26%. This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) survey on sexual transmission of HIV infection prevention in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This was a cross-sectional study consisting in a KAP survey conducted in schools and communities in two provinces, Kinshasa and Kongo central, in DRC. We assessed the knowledge and practices regarding preventive measures for sexual transmission of HIV infection, and searched to determine behavioral, sociocultural, and faith-based factors associated with HIV/AIDS KAPs and HIV seropositivity. Results shows that 59.8% of the 3,869 participants were females (40.2% of males), 55.4% were teenage school students. Mean age of the participants was 18.3 (SD: 5.2) years; 58% of teenagers lacked appropriate knowledge on the 6 highrisk behaviors for HIV infection. Overall, “forced sex history” was reported by 28.7% of participants, including 42.2% of teenage school students; of them, 50.8% of forced sex incidents occurred at age < 15 years. Overall HIV positive test rate was 11.1% (10.7% in teenagers); it was 11.5% in participants from conventional Christian communities, 12.9% in participants from liberal Christian and spiritual communities, 12.5% in Muslims, 0% in those from Unificationist faith community. On the other hand, when asked about condom use in case of occasional sex for sexually active individuals, a higher proportion of teenagers did not use it, 50.8% (vs. 18.9% in older subjects); only 5% of teenagers (vs. 10.6%) condom users utilized it consistently for occasional sex. HIV seropositivity was positively associated with female gender (OR=1.46 (0.5); p<0.05), age of first sex (OR=1.79 (0.6); p<0.01 and history of forced sex (OR=1.59 (0.3); p<0.05), whereas it was negatively associated with knowledge on high-risk behaviors for HIV infection (OR=1.97(0.4); p<0.01) and religious affiliation (conventional Christianity vs. non-conventional/spiritual communities; OR=1.91 (0.1); p<0.05). Findings from this study suggest that history of forced sex, age at first sex and religious affiliation were determinants of HIV seropositivity, particularly in young subjects. It is imperative to improve awareness and implement efficient moral, behavioral and school health education program targeting the major local HIV-associated risk behaviors in DRC.

In the relation between sexual knowledge, sexual attitude and sexual behavior, Korean students are positive correlation between sexual knowledge and sexual attitude, but they don't show any meaningful correlation between sexual knowledge and sexual behavior. On the other hand, American students show a positive correlation between sexual knowledge, sexual attitude and sexual behavior. As a result, The higher the level of sexual knowledge is, the more homosexuality and masturbation are and the lower the virginity is.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the impact of sexual knowledge and sexual values on reproductive health promotion behaviors (RHPBs) among male college students. Methods: We recruited 169 male students from online communities at two universities for a cross-sectional study. After obtaining consent, participants answered a self-administered online questionnaire. The measurements consist of sexual knowledge with 35 items, sexual values with 18 items, and males' RHPBs with 16 items, and general characteristics. A total of 166 responses were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and SPSS Process Model 4. Results: The mean age of participants was 23.03±2.79 years (range, 18-30 years). The average score of sexual knowledge, converted to percentage, was 73.44±12.99. Other areas were above average, but pregnancy, sexually transmitted disease and AIDS scores were below average. The mean score for sexual values was 55.06±10.17. Scores in the behavioral domain were below average, although other domains were above the item average. The score for RHPBs was 55.54±6.42. While other areas were above the item mean, the scores for safe sex and sexual responsibility were lower than the mean. Sexual knowledge, sexual values, and RHPB were positively correlated, but regression analysis showed that only sexual values had a significant effect on RHPBs. As a result of exploring the mediating effect on RHPBs, an indirect effect of sexual knowledge through sexual values was revealed. Conclusion: As higher scores for sexual values and knowledge are significantly associated with better RHPBs, we should consider both factors when planning RHPB education for male college students.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors which effect to female college student' reproductive health promoting behavior in female college students. Methods: The design of this study was correlational study and subjects were 127 female college students from two colleges in B metropolitan city. The data collection was carried out from June 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016. Data were collected using questionaires of characteristics of the subjects, sexual knowledge, sexual behavior, and self-efficacy(KGSE). Results: The subjects' reproductive health promoting behavior differed according to the grade, major, smoking, and experience of weight loss of more than 10 kg within the last 3 months. The subjects' reproductive health promoting behavior had positive correlations with sexual knowledge (r=.39, p<.001) and self-efficacy (r=.34, p<.001), and negative correlation with sexual behavior (r=-.23, p=.011). Sexual knowledge and sexual behavior were influencing factors on reproductive health promoting behavior accounting for 23.0%. Conclusion: This study showed that sexual knowledge and sexual behavior were factors affecting female college students' reproductive health promoting behavior and the most influential factor was sexual knowledge.
