About

This study aims to identify factors that influence students to undertake or not sexually transmitted diseases screening tests and to have an actual outlook of how Mexican university students live their sexual life. Moreover, the investigators aim to identify potential epidemiological risks and challenges to achieve adequate prevention and control of sexually transmitted diseases in this population. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted at a private university in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, from December 2019 to April 2020.
