Abstract:

STDs are global major cause of acute illness and death and represent high socioeconomic cost. Undergraduate students are highly exposed to them. The research developed at UNICAMP aimed to quantify and generate perception of (un)knowledge about STDs, besides to evaluate the interest of the students in a course about this subject. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire sent electronically to undergraduate students at the end of 2011 and to freshmen in 2012. The questionnaire was answered by 1,448 seniors and 371 freshmen. Twenty percent of seniors and 38% of freshmen had no sexual activity. Among students sexually active, 26.9% had no regular partner and 28.2% more than two partners / year. The condom was used by 99% of students, but less than 20% of them made proper use. About 80% of them did not know that condoms do not protect the outside barrier area; wanted to read more about STDs and learned something about the subject. Nearly half of the students felt that a course should be offered to all undergraduates. Our findings will be useful to help define strategies for prevention and the teaching tool might be used in other learning environments.
