Resumen

Las conductas de riesgo sexual se consideran conductas sexuales que pueden causar daños biológicos, psicológicos y sociales. Por lo tanto, la educación sexual se considera la única forma efectiva de evitarla. El objetivo de este estudio cualitativo es comprender los factores de las conductas sexuales de riesgo y sus consecuencias en los adultos jóvenes y explorar las estrategias que utilizan para enfrentarlos.  Se entrevista a 11 adultos jóvenes utilizando la técnica de correo asincrónico debido a la pandemia de la Covid19. Se desarrollan los resultados clave a través de un análisis temático: 1) Actitudes y comportamientos sexuales; 2) Factores de riesgo sexual; 3) Consecuencias de riesgo sexual; y 4) Enfoque y estrategias educativas. Las similitudes de los temas se verificaron con la literatura previa, exponiendo la importancia de aprender a identificar factores y consecuencias para responder adecuadamente. Los participantes creen que la educación sexual integral e igualitaria aplicada a nivel individual y comunitario es un método sólido que puede mejorar la salud y el bienestar sexual. Este estudio revela la importancia de escuchar las perspectivas de los adultos jóvenes sobre estas variables de conducta y enfoques educativos para establecer estrategias globales de salud que podrían basarse en estos resultados.
