This study qualitatively explored effects of sexuality discussions among adolescents and key influencing audiences. Although discussing sexuality issues with an influencer was described as instrumental in facilitating safe sex behaviors, inadequate knowledge and poor communication skills hinder such discussions. These findings suggest the need to strengthen influencers’ communication skills to gain confidence and provide adequate, updated information to address adolescent needs.
