Program Description

Research Summary
The 1997 DHS and PSI 1999 KAP survey were used to identify various behavioral problems. The Benin 1997 DHS indicated that only a third of men infected with STIs practice abstinence and that condom use was almost non-existent. The PSI KAP confirmed that knowledge of STIs and recognition of signs remained poor. Two-thirds of women questioned could not recognize a single STI symptom common to women, and one-third of men were unable to recognize male symptoms. Recognition, by both sexes, of signs in the opposite sex was even poorer.
