Sexual lifestyle of women attending inner-city general practices for cervical smears.
Despite high prevalences of sexually transmitted infections, little is known about the sexual lifestyles of women attending inner-city general practices. Responses from a 1996 questionnaire showed that age at first intercourse and numbers of sexual partners were similar to the national survey five years earlier. However, only 49% of women reporting > or = 2 sexual partners in the past year said their partner had used a condom at the last sexual intercourse.
