  "abstract": "<p>There is an understanding that effective HJV / AIDS prevention programs should be based on the models and theories of behaviour change so that the programs can be designed to change those factors which lead to the desirable risk behaviours and maintain the desirable once. With the objectives of determining HIV / AIDS related sexual behaviours and assessing their relationship with variables derived from the classical models of health behaviour, a study using a pre-tested self-administered questionnaire&nbsp;to collect information from a random sample of six hundred and sixty high school students was conducted in Jimma town in March 2000. Among the high school students 6.7% of female students and I 1.2% of male students were found to have involved in sexual activity with worst lifetime sexual behaviour index. Of the sexually active students the rate of unprotected sexual intercourse and intercourse with more than one sexual partner in the past year were 81. 7% and 19.3%, respectively.</p>",
