Abstract


The purpose of this work is to show the specific needs in sexual and reproductive health, and the knowledge of the existence of health services that might cover these needs and their use to male adults living in two cities of different size and characteristics (Rosario and Reconquista, in Santa Fe Province, Argentina). The aspects of sexual and reproductive health considered were: prevention of pregnancy, diseases of sexual transmission, infertility and sexual dysfunctions; and to use the services were considered: search of information, conciergery, supply of contraceptive methods, diagnoses and treatment.
