Abstrakt: OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of sexual infidelity and disclosure among undergraduates and to identify the characteristics of those engaging in infidelity. METHODS: Analysis of responses from an online survey of 1341 undergraduate. RESULTS: Approximately 27% of males and 20% of females reported having oral, vaginal, or anal sex outside a partner-perceived monogamous relationship. Men over the age of 20, binge drinkers, fraternity members, male NCAA athletes, or the nonreligious were most likely to engage in these behaviors. CONCLUSIONS: Implement educational strategies to encourage undergraduates in committed relationships to reconsider their STI risk and to protect themselves via condom usage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
