“…The results of this study corroborate the results of the national study done about the same topic (Santos et al, 2016) and, in the same way as in international studies, the majority of university students was sexually active (Fernández-Silva & Sánchez-Martínez, 2018;Kebede et al, 2018;Leon-Larios & Macías-Seda, 2017;Mavhandu-Mudzusi & Asgedom, 2016;Shapiro et al, 1999;Spindola et al, 2019;Villafañe-Ferrer & González-Navarro, 2017) Generally, potentially risky sexual behaviors were reported by 82.2% of sexually active university students. This high level of prevalence of risky sexual behaviors is corroborated by the findings of recent studies carried out with students of Higher Education (Sherab et al, 2019;Yang et al, 2019), although a systematic review of the literature with Ethiopian university students estimates a prevalence ranged from 23.3% to 60.9% (Amare et al, 2019).…”

“…The average scores attributed to the perception of STIs among male students was higher than those attributed to female ones (Evcili & Golbasi, 2017;Fernández-Silva & Sánchez-Martínez, 2018;Leon-Larios & Macías-Seda, 2017), showing perceptions considered to be more unfavorable towards these infections.…”

Sexual Knowledge and Attitudes and Sexual Risk Behaviours Among College Students

Several factors, including sexual knowledge and attitudes, influence sexual behaviours among college students. Scientific research suggests that positive information and attitudes regarding condom use and sexually transmitted infections (STI) have a strong association with protective behaviours. This study aimed to analyze knowledge and attitudes about STIs and attitudes towards condom use. This a cross-sectional study with a representative sample of college students (n = 840) in one university in Portugal. A validated self-reported questionnaire was administered to a proportional stratified random sample of students. By analyzing the sexual risk behaviours of sexually active students in the last 12 months, it was found that 18.7% of respondents reported having two or more sexual partners, 60.1% did not always use or almost always a condom and 32.3% had sexual intercourse after ingesting alcohol or consuming illicit psychoactive substances. The level of knowledge about STI transmission is 3.99±1.194 (6 possible correct answers), and the level of attitudes towards STIs and condom use were moderate. University students present gaps in knowledge and attitudes about STIs and condom use that may condition the adoption of protective health behaviours. These results show the importance of promoting health in higher education, especially in the area of sexuality.

“…En la muestra estudiada, la proporción de personas que usaron constantemente condón es inferior a lo reportado en datos nacionales ministeriales 17 y en otras muestras de estudiantes universitarios latinoamericanos 14,18 , ya que en este último caso las cifras son cercanas al 30%. Por lo general, el uso constante de condón en estudiantes universitarios es heterogéneo [19][20][21] , con un predominio claro de prácticas sexuales de riesgo 21 . Sin embargo, las fuentes no suelen especificar la frecuencia del uso de condón según el tipo de relación sexual, por lo que sus resultados podrían ser poco específicos.…”

“…Algunas barreras para el uso de condón informadas por los estudios publicados son tener relaciones monógamas, falta de experiencia o fracaso al utilizarlo, vergüenza al comprarlos, consumir alcohol u otras drogas y la creencia acerca de la pérdida de placer o espontaneidad; no obstante, la mayor barrera sería la baja percepción de riesgo respecto de las ITS 18,19 . Otros factores individuales asociados al bajo uso de preservativo son la sensación de "invulnerabilidad" característica de esta etapa del ciclo vital 21,27 . Contrariamente, algunas investigaciones demuestran que la percepción de autoeficacia y la asertividad sexual incrementan el uso de condón en población joven 28 .…”

Introducción: El uso de condones masculinos permite la prevención de infecciones de transmisión sexual y de embarazo, pero su uso en estudiantes de carreras sanitarias ha sido poco estudiado en Chile. El objetivo del presente estudio es evaluar el uso de condón y caracterizar la actividad sexual y el antecedente de infección de transmisión sexual en estudiantes de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Valparaíso, Chile. Materiales y métodos: Se desarrolló un estudio transversal. Se aplicó el Cuestionario Confidencial Sobre Vida Sexual Activa. Para el análisis inferencial se usaron las pruebas de Fisher y Kruskal-Wallis. Resultados: Se incluyeron 143 estudiantes (69% mujeres). El promedio de edad de la primera relación sexual fue de 17+1,8 años. Durante los últimos 12 meses, 6,3% siempre uso condón en las relaciones sexuales penetrativas, 69,2% a veces y 24,5% nunca (91,6% de ellas fueron heterosexuales); de acuerdo con el tipo de práctica sexual, 41,9% declaró siempre usar condón en las relaciones anales, 25,8% en las vaginales y 0,8% en las orales; 3,5% había presentado alguna infección de transmisión sexual. No se encontraron asociaciones entre el uso de condón y el sexo de los participantes, el antecedente de infección de transmisión sexual, el promedio de edad de inicio de la actividad sexual o la carrera universitaria. Discusión: Un pequeño número de participantes reportó el antecedente de infección de transmisión sexual. Una baja proporción de los estudiantes de carreras sanitarias usa constantemente condón, mayormente en las relaciones anales, lo que podría asociarse con una baja percepción de riesgo del no uso de condón.

“…The sexual behaviour of young people therefore constitutes a major risk factor in contracting HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. Inconsistent use of condoms, a high number of different sexual partners, having sex after drinking alcohol and the low frequency of HIV testing are the most frequent risk behaviours reported in international research (Castro & Santos-Iglesias, 2016;Cortés Alfaro, García Roche, & Ochoa Soto, 2015;Fernández-Silva & Sánchez-Martínez, 2018;Folasayo et al, 2017;Xu et al, 2019;Mavhandu-Mudzusi & Asgedom, 2016;Othieno, Okoth, Peltzer, Pengpid & Malla, 2015;Thomas, Yarandi, Dalmida, Frados & Klienert, 2015). Previous studies showed that Spanish young people do not use condoms consistently (Bagmato, Jenaro, Flores & Guzmán, 2014;Ballester, Gil, Jiménez & Ruiz, 2009;Castro & Santos-Iglesias, 2016).…”

The aim of this research was to describe the sexual behaviour and HIV/AIDS risk perception in two cohorts of Spanish university students. A cross-sectional design of two cohorts was employed. A total of 230 university students in 2004 (Mage=19.77; SD=1.73; 72.6% females) and 264 in 2012 (Mage=19.47; SD=1.73; 73.5% females) were recruited. A self-developed questionnaire on sexual behaviour was administered. A MANOVA per cohort, gender and age was performed. The results revealed that there were no differences between the cohorts regarding sexual practices. About one-fifth of sexually active young people used condoms regularly but not always, around one-sixth sometimes or never used them, half of the respondents did not usually require their sexual partners to take an HIV test and only the ten percent had ever undergone it. Three quarters of the subjects perceived some degree of invulnerability to HIV/AIDS. Spanish females perceived themselves more invulnerable.
