title: [Contraception during the first sexual intercourse: a survey concerning 467 female teenagers, 13 to 21 years in the Nantes area].
abstract: More than 30 years after the legalization of contraception in France (Neuwirth law) it was interesting to access the sexual behavior and the practice of contraception of French female teenagers. It is with this purpose that this survey has been done in the city of Nantes in Loire Atlantique. 467 female teenagers, 13 to 21 years old, were concerned. Results point out that more of 75% of young girls who replied to this survey used one contraceptive method during the first sexual intercourse and condom is predominantly used. A few ambivalences stake out this life period, so preventive strategies have to be very specific in order to fight sexual transmitted diseases (STD) and AIDS.
