RODRIGUEZ, Francisco; PRIMO, Silvia E.; MARTINEZ CALVO, Evangelina  e  SANCHEZ, Martín. AIDS / STI and sexuality in newly enrolled college students. Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2006, n.33, pp.135-150. ISSN 1851-1716.

This is a report on the results of a survey about AIDS/STI and sexuality conducted on the population of students starting their first year in college from the 2003 cohort of the National University of Entre Ríos (Argentina). The purpose was to make a diagnosis of their sources of information about sexuality, their knowledge about STI/AIDS, sexual behavior (initiation and prevention practices) and possible attitudes towards persons living with HIV/AIDS. We consider that the identification of the needs of this young population is very important in order to more specifically address to them preventive actions, according to the place where they live and taking into account that the different academic seats of the university are distributed throughout the Entre Ríos Province. The results were compared with the ones from a similar survey applied to newly enrolled students in 1998, looking for changes in knowledge, attitudes and practices.
