This study used data on currently married and cohabiting men aged 15 to 64 years from the 2003 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey to examine the prevalence of and factors associated with extramarital sex. The results show that 16% engaged in extramarital sex in the 12 months preceding the survey and had an average of 1.82 partners. The results also show statistically significant association between extramarital sex and ethnicity, religion, age, age at sexual debut, education, occupation, and place of residence. Based on the study results, it could be concluded that significant proportions of Nigerians are exposed to HIV infection through extramarital sex. A fundamental behavioral change expected in the era of HIV/AIDS is the inculcation of marital fidelity and emotional bonding between marital partners. The promotion of condom use among married couples should be intensified to protect women, a large number of whom are exposed to HIV infection from their spouses who engage in unprotected extramarital sex. And, because of gender-based power imbalances within the family, a large number of the women are unable to negotiate consistent condom use by their partners.
本研究使用了 2003 年尼日利亚人口与健康调查中关于 15 至 64 岁已婚和同居男性的数据，来调查婚外性行为的流行情况和相关因素。结果表明，在调查前的 12 个月内，有 16%的男性发生了婚外性行为，平均有 1.82 个性伴侣。结果还表明，婚外性行为与族裔、宗教、年龄、初次性行为年龄、教育程度、职业和居住地之间存在统计学上的显著关联。根据研究结果，可以得出结论，相当一部分尼日利亚人通过婚外性行为感染了艾滋病毒。在艾滋病毒/艾滋病时代，人们期望发生根本性的行为变化，即树立婚姻忠诚和婚姻伴侣之间的情感纽带。应该加强在已婚夫妇中推广使用避孕套，以保护那些大量因配偶发生无保护的婚外性行为而感染艾滋病毒的妇女。而且，由于家庭内部基于性别的权力不平衡，许多妇女无法与其伴侣协商一致使用避孕套。
