Risky sexual behavior of students is unsafe and risky behavior that can lead to unwanted consequences such as unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases...

Although overall, students have a low level of participation in risky sexual behavior, only rarely. However, there are behaviors with alarming scores such as: having sex with many people, having sex without using protection and safe contraception. This is extremely dangerous because it leads to a high risk of sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies, greatly affecting the health, spirit and future of students.

Male students were more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior than female students. Fourth-year students were more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior than second-year students. Gay men were more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior than other sexual orientations. Married or cohabiting students were more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior than students with other dating statuses. Religious students were less likely to engage in risky sexual behavior than non-religious students. Arts students were most likely to engage in risky sexual behavior, followed by science students, and social studies students were least likely to engage in risky sexual behavior. Students who rented accommodations were more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior than students who lived with family. Extroverted students were more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior than introverted students. Students exposed to pornography had higher sexual behavior than students not exposed to pornography.

Risky sexual behavior of students is influenced by factors: level of family cohesion, living environment, views on sexual love, awareness of risky behavior and personal lifestyle. Specifically, the higher the level of family cohesion, the more it reduces risky sexual behavior. The more negative the surrounding living environment and personal lifestyle, the lower the awareness, the more open and liberal views on sexual love, the more it increases risky sexual behavior in students.

11. Practical application:

From there, it shows that raising students' awareness of the issue of safe sex is very important, besides that the impact measures from family, school, social organizations also play an important role such as: family needs to enhance the connection with children, school needs to focus on life skills training programs, social organizations need to have effective communication strategies or community programs to contribute to reducing risky sexual behavior and building a healthy future generation both physically and mentally.
