RESUMEN
Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 54 adolescentes con vida sexual activa, pertenecientes al consultorio médico No 15 del Policlínico Ramón López Peña de Santiago de Cuba, desde marzo del 2016 hasta igual mes del 2017, con vistas a describir las características de su salud sexual y reproductiva. Se estudiaron variables, tales como edad de inicio de relaciones sexuales, uso de métodos de protección, satisfacción sexual, antecedentes de infecciones de transmisión sexual y número de embarazos, partos, abortos e hijos. Se comprobó la existencia de comportamientos inadecuados que afectaron la esfera de la salud de estos adolescentes. El inicio precoz de las relaciones coitales desprotegidas, el cambio frecuente de pareja sexual, la elevada frecuencia de embarazos, abortos, partos e infecciones de transmisión sexual, fueron elementos negativos que demostraron la existencia de una baja percepción de los riesgos a los cuales se exponían
