Description

The Problem Concern with adolescent sexual activity and its consequences continues to spur interventions to reduce sexual activity among young people globally (UNAIDS 2005). In Nigeria, where research for the current paper was conducted, the abstinence-until-marriage policy has emerged as a priority method for promoting sexual and reproductive health among young people. Nigeria is currently one of the largest beneficiaries of the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The program clearly stipulates that "abstinence-only until marriage" should be presented as the sole reproductive option for adolescents. Largely due to this, both Nigeria's official HIV/AIDS Policy (Federal Government of Nigeria [FGN], 2003) and the reviewed National Strategic Framework (2005) endorse abstinence as the best protection against HIV/AIDS among unmarried young people (National Action Committee on HIV and AIDS [NACA], 2005). As recently as 2005, a National Abstinence Leadership Training Workshop, whose publicly enunciated goal was "to build abstinence lifestyle onto the national HIV/AIDS prevention agenda in Nigeria," was held in Lagos. Hosted by the Nigeria Abstinence Coalition, the workshop was fully funded by the Nigerian government and relied on what was termed the "No Apology Abstinence Curriculum" as the training guide (AbstinenceAfrica, 2005).
