The sexual behaviour and contraceptive practice of 498 clinical students of a randomly selected medical college in Southwest Nigeria was studied in June 2003. More than two-thirds (67.5%) of the students had (ever had) sexual intercourse while 49.8% of them had ever used contraception. Only 26.1% of the 119 sexually active students used contraception during their last sexual intercourse. The most common contraceptive methods ever used by the students were the condom (54.6%) and rhythm method (39.5%) though a third of them incorrectly identified the limits of the fertile period. Contraception for single sexually active students was disapproved by 11.2% of the participants while 9.8% of them regarded avoidance of HIV patients in the hospital as a preventive measure against HIV infection. This survey reinforces the need for integration of a suitable sexuality course into our medical undergraduate curriculum in order to facilitate the delivery of reproductive health programmes in the future.
2003年6月，对尼日利亚西南部一所随机选取的医学院的498名医学生的性行为和避孕措施使用情况进行了研究。超过三分之二（67.5%）的学生有过（曾经有过）性行为，其中49.8%的学生曾经使用过避孕措施。在119名有性行为的学生中，只有26.1%的人在最近一次性行为中使用了避孕措施。学生们最常使用的避孕方法是避孕套（54.6%）和安全期避孕法（39.5%），不过其中三分之一的人错误地判断了排卵期的界限。11.2%的参与者不赞成单身有性行为的学生采取避孕措施，而9.8%的人将在医院避免接触艾滋病患者视为预防艾滋病毒感染的一项措施。这项调查强调了有必要将合适的性教育课程纳入我们的医学本科课程，以便在未来促进生殖健康项目的开展。
