Introduction: Risk-taking provides young people with a chance to test their skills and abilities and the opportunity for self-discovery. Some risks, such as early or unprotected sex, pregnancy, and abortion, can have harmful and long-lasting effects on a teen's health and well-being.

The purpose of this study was to assess the magnitude & factors associated with early sexual debut of high and preparatory school students in Shire-Endasellassie town, Tigray region, from March to June 2013.

“…A study about the concepts of HIV and AIDS in Ethiopia suggested that premarital sex may contribute to the expansion of HIV and AIDS. Indeed, several studies from Ethiopia have shown that young people are engaged in premarital sex with multiple sexual partners, and do not use condoms at all or use them irregularly [13].

Background: Premarital sexual practice among unmarried preparatory, College & university level students have markedly increased recently in Ethiopia. Those students found in adolescent are recognized as most affected by sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS. Sexual activity among unmarried people who do not have access to information about reproductive health and birth control can also increase the rate of unwanted early pregnancy too. A cross sectional study among TVET students was conducted from April-May 2016.Three hundred eighty seven adolescent students were participated. A self-administered questionnaire was provided. The data were cleaned, entered, processed and analyzed using SPSS V.21. The results was summarized in frequencies and percentages and presented in tables, pie chart and graph. The prevalence of premarital sexual practice among the TVET students was 51.9%. Being Male, family monthly income, alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking and chewing chat were factors associated with premarital sexual practice. Premarital sexual practice was more likely to occur among male adolescent students, [AOR 0.274, 95% (0.143, 0.525)]. Hence, this study showed that the prevalence of premarital sex practice among the study participants is higher (52%). Awareness creation should be done among TVET students to avoid unhealthy behaviors like substance use (drinking alcohol), watching videos that push them to start pre-marital sexual practice.

Background: Ethiopia is the second populated country in sub-Saharan Africa with 82 million people; more than half of them are under the age of 25. Youth throughout the world are susceptible to health risks because they lack adequate knowledge, adventure, and lack of guidance about sexual and reproductive health and related concerns. Limited in being a youth-friendly, affordable, or confidential. Moreover, the environment within which sexual and reproductive health services are provided is often not sensitive to the special needs of this youth population. Little is known about the level of utilization to the standard and the predators that influence the utilization.
