Responses of African Universities to HIV and Aids: Students' Perspectives from University of Cape Coast, Ghana
Abstract
This study sought to determine the views of students of University of Cape Coast , Ghana on what should be the response of the University to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The respondents (352 females and 434 males) were randomly chosen through stratified sampling. Findings revealed that students wish to see HIV/AIDS issues integrated into the curriculum of the University. The respondents also endorsed the development of an HIV/AIDS policy as well as the establishment of a Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) Centre for the University. Gender significantly determined how strongly students felt on what the response of the University to HIV/AIDS should be. Implications of these
findings for counselling including the need for counsellors to collaborate with faculty and
administration to mainstream HIV/AIDS are discussed.
