Abstract

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus has caused significant negative impacts on health due to its high morbidity and mortality; for this reason, identifying the risk factors for HIV in Ecuador helps to create effective prevention strategies with the aim of promoting responsible behavior in the population.

The literature consulted shows that risk factors can be biological, psychosocial, environmental and educational, with the most common being the onset of an early sexual life, multiple sexual partners, anal and vaginal intercourse without a condom, using and sharing sexual objects , oral sex, drug use, which leads to inappropriate and irresponsible behavior in the population.
