Abstract:

To measure the prevalence of condom use at last sexual intercourse and associated factors among university students a cross-sectional study was conducted. Graduate students from a public university, with 18 years old or older, of the Rio Grande/RS campi were eligible. Systematic sampling in a single stage based on the class list, and self-administered questionnaire were used. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariable analyzes were employed, with Poisson regression for the last two. Of the 1215 university students included in the analysis, most were between 20 and 29 years old (65.6%) and 69.3% began their sexual life before 18 years old. The prevalence of condom use at last intercourse was 41.5% (95% CI: 38.7 to 44.3). Male sex, lower age range, condom use at first sexual intercourse, older age of onset of sexual activity, not having a partner and casual partners in the last sexual intercourse increased the likelihood of condom use.
