Discussion
Results support the conclusion that the school and community-based programming had positive effects on rejection of myths about HIV transmission (among male students in FLHE+C schools and among females in both FLHE and FLHE+C), improvement in attitudes related to abstinence (among male students in FLHE+C schools) and use of condoms (among male students in FLHE+C schools and potentially among JSS 3 females in the same schools), and in decreasing sexual activity (by decreasing sexual
initiation among females in FLHE and FLHE+C schools and by decreasing recent sexual activity among males in FLHE schools). Confidence in these results is supported by both levels of statistical significance and consistency in patterns of results across different levels of schooling. Differences in outcomes both across school levels
and for males and females, as well as several unexpected results, and the limitations and strengths of this study require further consideration.
