The study analyzes the factors influencing conduct of HIV test and risky behavour change using the health belief model. The data were obtained from the Nigeria's 2004 NLSS data and analyzed with descriptive statistics and Probit regression. Results show that 87.79% of the single youths were aware of HIV/AIDS, 3.34% conducted HIV test and 71.73% desisted from risky behaviour by having sex with one partner (24.35%), not starting sex (16.90%) and using condom (14.29%). Also, probability of conducting HIV test and changing risky behaviours significantly increases (p<0.10) with age, access to radio, television and per capita expenditure, while it significantly decreases with no formal education. Residence in urban area significantly increases probability of conducting HIV test, but significantly reduces probability of changing risky behaviours. The study recommends integration of health studies into Nigerian elementary school curriculums, provision of adequate facilities for free HIV test in rural areas, among others.
该研究运用健康信念模型分析了影响艾滋病病毒检测行为及危险行为改变的因素。数据取自尼日利亚2004年全国住户抽样调查数据，并采用描述性统计和概率单位回归进行分析。结果显示，87.79%的单身青年知晓艾滋病病毒/艾滋病，3.34%进行了艾滋病病毒检测，71.73%通过与单一性伴侣发生性行为（24.35%）、不开始性行为（16.90%）以及使用避孕套（14.29%）等方式戒除了危险行为。此外，进行艾滋病病毒检测及改变危险行为的概率会随着年龄、接触广播和电视的机会以及人均支出显著增加（p<0.10），而未接受正规教育则会使其显著降低。居住在城市地区会显著增加进行艾滋病病毒检测的概率，但会显著降低改变危险行为的概率。该研究建议将健康研究纳入尼日利亚小学课程，在农村地区提供足够的免费艾滋病病毒检测设施等。
