The aim of this study was to determine the associations between risk behaviour and women's reported sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). All the women aged 19, 21, 23 and 25, residing in a specified housing area, were invited to answer a questionnaire regarding their sexual behaviour, smoking and alcohol consumption and previous history of STD. Of the 611 women participating, one out of 4 women had a history of at least one STD. In an univariate analysis, self-reported STD was found to be related to age, having more than 4 lifetime sexual partners, having practised intercourse at first date, inconsistent use of condoms, alcohol consumption of more than 3 bottles of wine per month and smoking. These factors were, however, not independent of each other and when subjected to a multivariate logistic regression analysis 2 factors, i.e. the lifetime number of sexual partners (more than 4 partners vs one; OR 7.94, (3.41-18.50)) and coitus on first date (practised more than once vs never, OR 2.99 (1.55-5.78)) emerged as independently associated with a previous STD.
