“…The highest educational level is related to the knowledge people get at the formal educational level, which positively increases the knowledge of MTCT of HIV/AIDS (Alemu et al, 2018;Alwafi et al, 2018;Worku et al, 2021). The variable of talking with friends about sexual matters might be related to sharing information with peers, which is related to knowledge about MTCT of HIV/AIDS (Ehiri et al, 2019;Kumbani et al, 2023;Letshwenyo-Maruatona & Gabaitiri, 2018). The media exposures in this study found no association with knowledge of MTCT of HIV/AIDS, which differs from several previous studies (Lakhe et al, 2020;Pachuau et al, 2021;Teshale et al, 2021).…”

Background: The prevalence of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV/AIDS is increasing, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Most previous studies focused on pregnant women in antenatal care, but this study examined the early phases of non-married women, which are young adults. Objective: This study aimed to examine the factors associated with knowledge MTCT of HIV/AIDS among young adults in Indonesia. Methods: This study used secondary data from the Special Indonesia Demographic Health Survey (IDHS), also known as the Indonesia Young Adult Reproductive Health Survey (IYARHS). The unit of analysis in this study is a non-married young adult aged 14 to 24 from 34 provinces in Indonesia. The final samples brought into the analysis were 9,600 women. The univariate analysis, bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test, and multivariate analysis using binary logistic regression were done using the STATA 17 version licensed by the Institute for Population and Social Research, Mahidol University. Results: This study revealed that 33.75% of the respondents had poor knowledge of the MTCT of HIV/AIDS. Moreover, the factors found to be significantly associated with knowledge of MTCT of HIV/AIDS were age (19 to 24 years old), residence in an urban area, graduation from junior high school, senior high school, academy, and university, and also those who talked about sexual matters with friends. Conclusion: This study suggests supporting and encouraging related stakeholders in order to provide education about MTCT in the early years of adulthood so the prevention program can be applied more easily.

“…Coincidently, young people prefer information on sexuality and reproductive health from their parents and family members [12][13][14]. Globally, there is inadequate communication between parents and their adolescents on SRH [11,[15][16][17]. Parents find it difficult to discuss sexual and reproductive topics such as sex, childbirth, condom use, infertility, and STIs.…”

“…Parents find it difficult to discuss sexual and reproductive topics such as sex, childbirth, condom use, infertility, and STIs. This is often because of limited knowledge, cultural beliefs, and fear of being embarrassed or judged as unfaithful [16]. Whenever communication occurs, it tends to be limited in the number of topics or occurrences [11], M share the developmental stage of the adolescent, sex and location [15,17].…”

Background: Sexual and reproductive health communication is an important conversation challenge between parents and their adolescent children. Studies have established that parent-adolescent communication about sex can greatly reduce adolescents' risky sexual behaviour. Factors such as attitude, religious beliefs, perceived behavioural control, and behavioural intentions have been reported to affect parent-adolescent communication. Objective: This study assessed the communication practices between adolescents and their parents in the Wa West District in the Upper West Region of Ghana and factors that may be associated with this communication process. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study design was employed using a four-stage sampling technique. A total of 420 parents with adolescents aged 10to 19years were recruited to answer structured questions using Somers and Canivez's sexual communication tool. The tool yielded sexual communication mean scores. The analysis of variance test was used to compare mean scores. Binary logistic regression was used to determine possible factors affecting SRH communications. All analyses were done using IBM SPSS Statistics (Version 25). Results: The study found that most of the respondents had good communication on sexual and reproductive health with their adolescents. There was a significant difference between Dagaabas and the other ethnic groups (p=0.025, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) = 0.05-1.25), between public sector employees and farmers (p=0.008, 95% CI = 0.07-0.90), and between Christians and Muslims (p=0.032, 95% CI= 0.01-0.38) on SRH communication. Conclusion: Though parents' communication with adolescents was good, health stakeholders need to empower parents with information on sexual and reproductive health to ensure effective counselling of their adolescents
