Abstract: | This study, conducted among university students in South-west Nigeria, assesses the effects of peer education in improving knowledge of reproductive health and AIDS, in order to change attitudes and behaviour with the aim of promoting HIV prevention. The study involved 230 undergraduates from two old generation federal universities (149 males & 81 females), aged between 17 and 31 years old. Findings reveal significant effects of peer education on knowledge and attitudes. However, there was no significant effect of peer education on the behaviours and practices related to HIV prevention.
