Sexual lifestyle of women attending inner-city general practices for cervical smears

Despite high prevalences of sexually transmitted infections, little is know n about the sexual lifestyles of women attending inner-city general practic es. Responses from a 1996 questionnaire showed that age at first intercours e and numbers of sexual partners were similar to the national survey five y ears earlier. However, only 49% of women reporting greater than or equal to 2 sexual partners in the past year said their partner had used a condom at the last sexual intercourse.
