More of the respondents (34.75%) fell within the age range of 26-35 years with a mean age of 34.89+10.88. Majority of the respondents (88.56%) were Yoruba, 63.14% had a secondary school education and 65.25% were married. Among the married, 89.61% were in monogamous marriages and 88.96% lived with their wives. Consumption of alcohol and smoking of hemp was found to be commoner among the drivers in this study compared to the result of a study among intercity commercial divers in Ilorin, Kwara state in 2007 where less than a quarter consumed alcohol and only 3.9% smoked hemp.1 About 16.09% of the respondents had experienced sexual debut before the age of 15 years, higher than the result obtained in the 2008 National Demographic and Health survey where only 6% of men within the general population aged 15-24 reported sexual debut before age 15.8
About a quarter of the sexually active respondents (27.11%) paid for sex which is low compared to the 51.43% obtained among patients accessing treatment for STIs in a study carried out in 6 health facilities in urban Zvishavane, Zimbabwe in 2009.9 Majority of the respondents had been involved in concurrent multiple partnership (60.43%). Among the married respondents, 44.21% have had extramarital affairs. Majority of respondents (91.90%) were currently sexually active and among this group, about half (50.23%) had only one sexual partner. These results are higher than those obtained in a study carried out in Ilie town, Oshogbo, Nigeria among the adult population where only 23.7% of all respondents had multiple sexual relations running concurrently and 32.1% of those married engaged in extramarital affairs.10 About one-fifth of respondents (18.58%) consumed stimulants for sexual arousal among them 47.62% took drugs for sexual stimulation (8.47% of all respondents) which was higher compared to the result obtained in a study carried out among clients of commercial sex worker in Escuintla, Guatemala in which 2.2% of respondents took drugs just prior to sex. About a quarter (26.95%) of the respondents who take alcohol, do so before having sex (16.10% of all respondents) this is low when compared to findings of the study among clients of commercial sex workers mentioned above where 85.4% of respondents consumed alcohol just prior to sex.11 All the respondents engaged in vaginal sex, 20.35% in anal and 7.08% in oral which was close to the results obtained in a study carried out among sexually active male ruralurban immigrants in Shanghai, China in 2013 where all the sexually active respondents engaged in vaginal sex and 8.1% in oral sex however with regards to anal sex about one fifth of respondents in this study reported to participated in the act which is considerably higher than the 0.5% recorded among the Chinese.12 CONCLUSION This study carried out among commercial bus drivers under the National Union of Road Transport workers (NURTW), Mushin Lagos state revealed that one-fourth smoked cigarette and hemp and were regular smokers.
