<p class="Englishversionofabstract">Lack of sexual knowledge and increasing negative sexual attitudes in Indonesia could lead to risky sexual behavior. This problem increases teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and abortion among adolescents. This study aimed to determine the relationship between sexual knowledge and sexual attitudes towards sexual behavior among junior high school students in West Jakarta. This study was cross-sectional, conducted on 544 junior high school students in West Jakarta. Measuring instruments used were characteristic questionnaires, sexual knowledge questionnaires, sexual attitude questionnaires, and sexual behavior questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using bivariate (chi-square). This study shows 79.2% of the respondents had low sexual knowledge, 45.6% respondents had negative sexual behavior, and 48.2% respondents had risky sexual behavior. This study finds that most male respondents had low sexual knowledge (80.8%), low sexual attitude (56.8%), and “less-safe” risky sexual behavior (60.0%), while “not-safe” risky sexual behavior (2.7%) was found higher in female respondents. Bivariate analysis shows a significant relationship between sexual knowledge (p=0.006; 95% OR=1.763 |95% CI=1.151-2.698) and sexual attitude (p=&lt;0.001; OR=2.852 | 95% CI=2.012-4.043) towards sexual behavior. In conclusion, low sexual knowledge and negative sexual attitudes increase the risk of risky sexual behavior.</p>

BACKGROUND: Internet has been of great benefit to human life, however, it has some disadvantages which exist particularly among young people. AIM: Therefore, this study aims to investigate the internet usage and risky sexual behavior among high school students in a suburban area in Indonesia. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study carried out using stratified random sampling in a high school located in a suburban area in West Java, Indonesia. Furthermore, self-administered Modified Internet Sex Screening Test (ISST) questionnaire was applied to measure the risky sexual behavior among the students. RESULTS: The results showed that based on the overall risky sexual behavior from internet usage, 35 (12.9%), 211 (77.6%), and 26 (9.6%) subjects were at low, medium, and high risk, respectively. Furthermore, the male gender and browsing for sexual content video were discovered to be the significant risk factors associated with risky sexual behavior with an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of 5.79 (95% CI: 1.15-29.14) and 3.11 (95% CI: 1.03-9.39), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: From the results obtained, it was concluded that the prevalence of risky sexual behavior based on internet usage is high among students. Furthermore, it was discovered that male students need more attention by being involved in healthy sexual education. In addition, the role of policy-maker in filtering the accessible content for students is required.
