Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to identify factors that influence students to undertake or not sexually transmitted diseases screening tests and to have an actual outlook of how Mexican university students live their sexual life. Moreover, the investigators aim to identify potential epidemiological risks and challenges to achieve adequate prevention and control of sexually transmitted diseases in this population. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted at a private university in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, from December 2019 to April 2020.


Description:

The investigators will invite the students to complete it and leave it in a black painted box to maintain privacy. The investigators will inquire if the participants considered having adequate knowledge about STDs, sexual intercourse onset, sexual behavior, number of sex partners, sexual orientation, use of condoms and contraceptives, sexual intercourse under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and reasons why students do not get sexually transmitted diseases screenings.
