Knowledge regarding STDs varies significantly with gender, marital status, and education status (p < .05). The study provides evidence to indicate that participants have an inadequate of information the mode of transmission, prevention, and various types of STDs. The results call for intensified STD-related education and awareness creation for individuals with VI.
