Four hundre
d 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
-
di
sclosure during voluntary counselling and
testing among university students in Kenya. Results revealed there is a significant relationship between
self

social factors and sexual self
-
disclosure. Students’ marital status, relational
mobilit
y 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 recommendatio
ns for further research are discussed
