- Abstract
Objective: To characterize, compare and associate the socio-demographic and economic profile, as well as the sexual behavior and the knowledge and presence of Sexually Transmissible Infections (STI) among Brazilian university students and foreigners recently admitted to an public university. Method: Exploratory, descriptive and quantitative research was conducted with 131 students. Results: There was a predominance of male participants, Brazilian and Guinean, single, with eventual partnership and family income of up to one minimum wage. More than half of the Brazilian and foreign participants had started their sexual life before the age of 18 and had had at least 2 partners. Most students knew the concept of STI and hadn't contracted any of them. An association was observed between being a foreigner, having had the first intercourse and knowing STI. Conclusion: It's perceived that the reality of foreign university students is similar to the reality of Brazilians.
