Abstract

Objective: This study aims to investigate sexual behaviors among gender diverse (LGBT and other sexual/gender minorities) and nongender-diverse medical students.

Methods: In 2021 academic year, medical students from five Thai medical schools completed questionnaires identifying demographic data, psychosexual factors, sexual experiences, and risks.

Results: Among 1,322 students, 32.1% were gender-diverse students who had lower age at first sexual intercourse and more experiences in solitary and partnered sexual activity.

Conclusions: Use of hookup applications was more frequent among gay and bisexual males. Risky sexual behaviors were significantly higher among bisexual females. Gender-diverse medical students showed higher involvement in sexual activities. Future studies should be addressing sexual health in Thai medical education.

女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人和其他性取向和性别多样化的医学生的性行为：泰国医学院的全国性研究

摘要目的本研究旨在调查不同性别（LGBT和其他性/性别少数群体）和非性别医学生的性行为。方法在2021学年，来自五所泰国医学院的医学生完成了问卷调查，确定了人口统计数据、性心理因素、性经历和风险。结果在1322名学生中，32.1%的学生是性别多样化的学生，他们初次性交的年龄较低，有更多的单独和伴侣性活动经历。结论在同性恋和双性恋男性中，使用勾搭应用程序的频率更高。危险性行为在双性恋女性中明显更高。不同性别的医学生在性活动中表现出更高的参与度。未来的研究应该针对泰国医学教育中的性健康问题。
