ABSTRACT

The sexual conducts of students of health care professions were assessed. Participants were invited to respond a survey about their sexual conducts, anticonceptive use, and pregnacy frecuency, voluntarily and anonimously. The survey was responded by 2640 students, 703 men and 1937 women, studying odontology, nursing, medicine, or psicology. Sexual relations had been initiated by 70% of the participants (82% males and 66% females). Most of the participants initiated sexual relations after they were 17 years old, and only 5% of them after they were 20 years old. Preservative use was low (males 61%, females 44%). Only 49% of the males and 56% of the females reported having used anticonceptive methods; 16% of the females had been pregnant, while 9% of the males reported a pregnancy of their partners. In this sample, 91% of the males and 72% of the females have had their first sexual relation before they were 18 years old. Males initiated sexual active life before than females did. Condom use was low, and its use was even lower as the age of the respondents increased. More efective education and prevention campaigns are needed.
