Prevalence rates and the unmistakable presence of AIDS at every level of society notwithstanding, limited effort has been put forth to understand the sexual behavioral factors driving the epidemic, and to link issues of sex and sexuality to HIV.
This dissertation examines young Ethiopian men's and women's sexual attitudes, sexual behavior, and their perceptions of HIV risk within the broader context of their social relationships and within the framework of their lives in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It is an exploratory study examining a number of issues relating to premarital social and sexual relationships, mate selection, marriage, and sexual risk. The focus of this research is on never married men, aged , and women, aged The results suggest that there is conflict between normative values and the reality of sexual behaviors; that is, while young Ethiopians' attitudes toward sexual matters are conservative, the behavioral reality is that young people are increasingly having premarital sex.
