THE ROLE OF THE FAMILY IN PREVENTION OF HIV-AIDS AMONG YOUTHS IN THE SOCIETY.A CASE STUDY OF OSHIMILI SOUTH LGA OF DELTA STATE
ABSTRACT
The family remains the most fundamental social unit responsible for shaping the behaviour, values, and health practices of young people. This study examined the role of the family in the prevention of HIV/AIDS among youths in Oshimili South Local Government Area of Delta State. The study specifically explored how parental communication, supervision, emotional support, and value transmission influence youths’ awareness and adoption of preventive behaviours. A descriptive survey design was employed, and data were collected from sampled parents and youths using a structured questionnaire. Findings revealed that families play a significant role in shaping youths’ attitudes toward sexual health, with open parent–child communication emerging as the strongest predictor of HIV-preventive behaviour. Results also showed that parental monitoring, moral guidance, and supportive family environments significantly reduce risky behaviours such as unprotected sex and multiple sexual partnerships. Despite this, challenges such as cultural taboos around sexuality discussions, lack of adequate parental knowledge, and weak parental–youth interaction limit the family’s effectiveness in HIV prevention. The study concludes that strengthening family communication and empowering parents with accurate HIV/AIDS information are essential for reducing infection rates among youths in the area. It recommends community-based family health education programmes, improved parent–youth dialogue initiatives, and school–family partnerships aimed at enhancing preventive practices. The study contributes to the growing evidence that the family remains a crucial pillar in HIV/AIDS prevention among young people in Nigeria.
