Efforts by international nongovernmental organizations and the Federal Republic of Nigeria to reduce the impact of HIV virus infection in Nigeria have been less successful than anticipated. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between attitudes, religious beliefs, knowledge of HIV, and risky sexual behaviors in urban versus rural regions in Nigeria. Guided by social cognitive theory and problem behavioral theory, secondary data from the 2008 Nigeria Demographic Health Survey were used to conduct a quantitative cross-sectional study. A representative sample of 36,000 households was selected using a stratified 2-stage design: A total of 28,627 females and 14,207 males were used in the data analysis. Multiple regressions and multivariate comparisons revealed that all knowledge of and positive attitudes toward HIV, religion, and urban/rural location predicted risky sexual behavior, F (4, 40385) = 21.16, p <.001, R2 = .00. However, in urban areas of Nigeria, increased knowledge of HIV was not associated with a decrease in risky sexual behavior rs = .04, p <.001. Future research should focus on effective methods of behavior change in light of the positive association found between knowledge of HIV and risky sexual behaviors in urban areas. Nigerian health professionals should target obvious negative attitudes towards condoms with sustained sex education which could help to reduce HIV contraction in the society, thus improving the lives of individuals, their families, and communities.
