AB This article on the sexuality of adolescents (aged 16 to 20) presents
results of a secondary analysis of Swiss studies completed on the
subject between 1972 and 1992. The aim of the study was to follow up the
evolution of three aspects of sexual behaviour since 1972 as a
contribution to answering the following question: What influence have
the AIDS epidemic and the 'STOP-Aids' campaign had on the time of onset
of sexual activity in young people? Three aspects of sexual behaviour
have been analyzed: 1. The proportion of young people who have already
had sexual intercourse. This research shows that the percentage of
sexually active 17-year-olds increased in the last 20 years for girls
from 33% to 46% and for boys of the same age, from 23% to 51%. This
increase took place before 1987. Since then, the proportion of sexually
active young people of this age has not changed. 2. The number of
life-time partners. In 1992, 28% of girls and 23% of boys aged 17 to 20
years had had more than 4 sexual partners. There had been no changes in
these percentages since 1987. 3. The use of contraception. The use of
contraception during the first sexual intercourse has become more
frequent. In girls aged 16 to 20 years it rose from 47% in 1976 to 76%
in 1992; in boys it increased from 50% in 1976 to 76% in 1992. For 17-
to 20-year-olds, condom use with an occasional sexual partner rose from
16% in 1987 to 69% in 1992.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
