dc.description.abstractIn the fight against HIV/AIDS in Nigeria, the incorporation of marital values and practices tenet in the campaign programmes remain one of the major assets that has remained untapped. This study was conducted towards understanding the positive and negative marital values and practices in Nigeria and how they can improve HIV/AIDS preventive campaigns. In-depth interviews were conducted on married young people who reside in Abeokuta town in South West, Nigeria. The first and the second categories were HIV positive and HIV negative respectively. The findings show that there are some marital values and practices which promote risky sexual behaviour among men which leads to HIV/AIDS while some curtails sexual excesses particularly among females. Some of the female informants indicated that some marital values and practices were promoting social cohesion and unity while others were having negative influence on their physical and psychological health. Majority of the informants testified that cultural values and practices gave married men the permissiveness to involve in extra marital affairs. The consequences of the above scenario make more women to be vulnerable to HIV/AIDS than their male counterparts. These findings show that inculcating marital virtues into HIV/AIDS preventive communication campaigns would reduce the prevalence of HIV/AIDS among married couple. This study concludes that there is a need to specifically design marital sensitive HIV/AIDS preventive campaigns specifically for married individuals.en_US
