Slovenia is one of the low HIV prevalence countries of central Europe with less than one infected individual per population. Reliable data on patterns of sexual behaviour are needed to inform sexual and reproductive health policies, including those for the prevention of HIV and STI. In the late s and early s, almost all western European countries, and many other developed and developing countries, conducted nationally representative sexual behaviour surveys.
We used stratified two-stage probability sampling of 18βyear-old Slovenians based on the central population register. Weights were computed to adjust for differences in survey response and any remaining differences between the achieved sample and available Slovenian population estimates according to statistical regions, types of communities, gender and age groups, based on central population register data for the year Response rates were calculated from unweighted data.
