Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are serious public health problems. Little is known about sex knowledge, attitudes, and sexual behaviors among young adults in Romania; an effective preventive campaigns should be based on an appropriate understanding of these factors. The aim of the present study was to obtain data about sexual behavior, attitudes, and knowledge about STIs among university students aged 18-25 in Romania. 3872 persons completed an internet-based questionnaire, advertised on Facebook, regarding sexual behavior, attitudes, and knowledge about STIs from January 28 to February 28, 2016. 6.01% of the respondents had no sexual experience; of the remaining (N=3639, 945 men and 2694 women) 94% were heterosexual, 1.5% homosexual, and 4.6% bisexual. 53.7% of the respondents started their sexual activity between 14 and 18 years of age; only 2.3% become sexually active before 14 years of age. 30% of both sexes reported multiple sexual partners during the previous year. 25.9% of men and 23.3% of women used no contraception at sexual onset, the proportion being higher among those with an early sexual debut. 98% of the respondents knew that HIV could be contracted sexually, 75.8% knew that gonorrhea and 61.1% that Chlamydia trachomatis were sexually transmitted, and approximately one third knew that trichomoniasis and hepatitis B or C were STIs. We found a relatively high proportion of students engaged in risky sexual behaviors and insufficient knowledge about STIs. The results are important in planning future sexual education campaigns and they call for new preventive strategies.
性传播感染（STIs）是严重的公共卫生问题。罗马尼亚年轻人的性知识、态度和性行为方面鲜为人知；有效的预防运动应基于对这些因素的恰当理解。本研究的目的是获取罗马尼亚18至25岁大学生的性行为、态度和性传播感染知识的数据。2016年1月28日至2月28日，3872人完成了在脸书上发布的一份关于性行为、态度和性传播感染知识的网络问卷。6.01%的受访者没有性经历；其余（N = 3639，945名男性和2694名女性）中，94%为异性恋，1.5%为同性恋，4.6%为双性恋。53.7%的受访者在14至18岁之间开始性行为；只有2.3%在14岁之前开始有性行为。30%的男女都报告在前一年有多个性伴侣。25.9%的男性和23.3%的女性在开始性行为时未采取避孕措施，在性初次登场较早的人群中这一比例更高。98%的受访者知道艾滋病毒可通过性传播，75.8%知道淋病，61.1%知道沙眼衣原体是性传播的，约三分之一的人知道滴虫病和乙型或丙型肝炎是性传播感染。我们发现有相当比例的学生从事危险的性行为且对性传播感染知识不足。这些结果对于规划未来的性教育运动很重要，并且需要新的预防策略。
