    A study by a survey about sexuality in adolescents was performed in 218, subjects aged 14-19 years with the aim of knowing the level of sexual intercourse practice, the degree of sexual information and the use of contraceptive methods and history of pregnancy by age and sex. In the analysis made it was found that 51% of the sample have sexual intercourse since early adolescents. The majority has information about contraceptive methods. Only 66% of adolescents who have sexual intercourse is protected against impregnation or infections; 38 have no protection at all. The most effective contraceptive methods for this group such as condom or diaphragm are not known or not used by them. 61% of young people who has sexual intercourse had a history of pregnancy, most of them having given birth to a child in first place, followed by uterine curettage and as a result they left school and a few began to work. The family doctor and the nurse must provide sexual education to the family due to the relation they have with their population.
