Abstract

Objective: Prevention programmes at the work environment have been said to be a feasible strategy which allows a better understanding of the workers’ setting and development of customized educational intervention. This study was therefore carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of health education in improving HIV knowledge and high risk behaviours of commercial drivers in Ilorin, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: This is an intervention study carried out in four motor parks in Ilorin which were mainly for inter-state routes. The sample size used for each of the study and the control group was 140. The study and control groups were matched for socio-demographic characteristics. The study was in three stages-: pre-intervention, intervention and post intervention. A pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaire was used for data collection after which analysis of data was done using SPSS version 15. Results: In the preintervention phase, no significant difference was found in the socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge about HIV/AIDS, high risk behaviours and HIV preventive practices of the respondents in both study and control groups.
