Abstract
Four hundred and fifty six third year undergraduate students from the University of Nairobi, Kenyatta
University and Egerton University were studied to find out the influence of self-concealed psycho-social
factors as predictors on the effectiveness of sexual self-disclosure during voluntary counselling and
testing among university students in Kenya. Results revealed there is a significant relationship between
self-concealed psycho-social factors and sexual self-disclosure. Students’ marital status, relational
mobility and cues that relate to privacy were found to be the best predictors of sexual self-disclosure by
determining details of how much sexual information they disclosed during voluntary counselling and
testing. Implications of these findings and recommendations for further research are discussed.
