Resumo: Objective: To investigate the sexual profile of university students. Methods: Descriptive, exploratory and quantitative study, carried out between April and June 2015 at a University of the municipality of Balneário Camboriú, Santa Catarina. The data collection instrument was a self-administered, closed questionnaire with 31 multiple-choice questions, related to the participants’ sociodemographic profile, sexual life and knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), condoms and contraceptive methods. The sample comprised 371 university students. The information was electronically tabulated, and the analysis of simple frequency and percentage distribution was performed based on the number of responses obtained. Results: Of the 371 university students who composed the sample, 237 (63.9%) are women in the predominant age range between 21-25 years, predominantly heterosexual, attending Law, with Catholic religion, with the South region as place of origin, and living with relatives. The results indicated that 137 respondent students are condom users (36.9%), although a large number believe that there are other preventive methods to STDs/HIV/AIDS besides female and male condoms, such as: the contraceptive pill (88; 23.7%), vasectomy (48; 12.9%) and tubal ligation (42;11.3%). Conclusion: The sexual profile of the university students assessed is vulnerable, since there is disinformation about the themes that permeate the human sexuality, which gives rise to health risks.
