Abstract

This study investigated the willingness to seek voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) among undergraduate students at Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State, Nigeria. The study employed a descriptive survey design to assess the willingness to use voluntary counselling and testing. A total of 1200 participants stratified based on their course of study (science-oriented and non-science oriented) were involved. A self-developed instrument tagged “Willingness to Seek VCT and VCT Knowledge Questionnaire (WSVCTKQ)” was used data collection. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression statistical analyses were used to analyze the data collected. The results showed the participants’ awareness of VCT was on the average, while they do not want to go for VCT. Also, it was found that willingness to seek VCT services has nothing to do with the undergraduates’ gender. The findings concluded that more awareness should be created, while both sexes should be empowered to accept VCT for HIV screening through peer initiated VCT services.
