Objective. Describe the profile of Sexual and Reproductive Health of the Latin-American adult population who lived in Seville during 2011. Material and method. A cross-sectional study was conducted on a stratified sample with proportional allocation by sex, age and administrative sections. The sample was composed by the responses of 190 Latin-American adults immigrants aged from 25 to 44, in the city of Seville from January to May 2011. We used some sections of the Surveillance System Risk Factors questionnaire associated with behavior (2009) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention U.S. which included sociodemographic variables, the use of methods of contraception, the prevalence of STIs and the assistance to family planning. Results. The male condom is used by 43.0% of the sample, and 66.2% of them use the male condom every time. It's most used by men than women, 68.9% vs. 31.1%. Married women using methods of contraception more often (64.2%), than unmarried (42.6%). The self-reported STI incidence was significantly higher in men than in women, 6.7% versus 0.9%. Finally, 16.8% of the respondents attended the family planning office. Conclusion. Most of the studied population is well informed about family planning and employs some methods of contraception, most often, the male condom. The prevalence of sexually transmitted infections is low, although its protection is insufficient.
