The aim of the research was to assess the determinants of risky sexual behaviours of Pol ish migrants in the UK a¤er the year 2004, and to compare those behaviours to thesexual behaviour of the same people before they emigrated from Poland. Results relate to 408 respondents, 56.9% of whom were women. Respondents had a median age of 32 years. 38.7% of them admitted to having unprotected sexual intercourse with an unknown partner in the UK. Such behaviour occurred with greater frequency in the UK than in Poland. Also more respondents declared themselves to have engaged in sexual intercourse a¤er the use of drugs and alcohol in the UK than in Poland. Relatively poor sensitivity to cultural di{erences was, in the case of this research, an independent predictor of unprotected sexual intercourse. Males were more likely to engage in unprotected sex with casual partners as well as sex a¤er alcohol and with multiple partners, which could result in a much higher probability of contracting sexually transmitted infections. All the results demonstrated the signicance of cultural adaptation and sexual education for the health of immigrants.
