Risk of sexually transmitted infections due to changing sexual attitude and behaviors and limited knowledge among college students in southern China

摘要

Background: The incidence of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) has increased significantly in China in recent years, partly due to changing sexual attitude and behaviors among young Chinese. Guangdong is one of the provinces with the highest morbidity from STI. Nonetheless, only a limited number of related studies have been done. The aim of the study was to examine risk of STI in college students in Guangdong from their STI knowledge and self-reported sexual attitude and behaviors.
