N2  - Urinary tract infections are common non-viral diseases mostly transmitted through sexual activities. Our study investigated the prevalence and risk factors associated with these infections among students of Rivers State college of Health Sciences and Technology, Port Harcourt, Rivers State. A cross sectional study was conducted in which urine specimens from 353 students (89males, 253females) were collected.  The samples were prepared for microscopic examination using wet mount method for observation of motile organisms and sedimentation technique for observation of eggs and cysts.
