Abstract
Until 2020, there was no representative sex survey for Germany with published data. The GeSiD study "Health and Sexuality in Germany" is the first nationwide, representative sex survey. The aim of this paper is to provide a brief introduction to the German health and sexuality (GeSiD) survey.A total of 4955 persons (2336 men, 2619 women) aged 18-75 years were interviewed between 2018 and 2019. The computer-assisted face-to-face interviews had an extensive self-completion section and asked about a wide range of sexual behaviour and sexual health topics. Data on sexual identity, relationships, sexual behaviour, and sexual health were assessed. Data show, among other things, that only a minority of respondents had ever talked to a healthcare provider about HIV/AIDS or other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).Data show a clear need for education, information dissemination, and training in the area of sexual health.Entities:
