    Education about sexually transmitted diseases can be an effective primary prevention strategy against HPV infection and cervical cancer. Objective: to analyse risk behaviours and levels of knowledge about human papillomavirus among seventh-grade students. Methods: the study used a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational, non-experimental, descriptive design to examine the relationship between risk behaviours and knowledge of human papillomavirus (HPV). Results: Male participants reported less knowledge and experience of HPV. Second, knowledge level was an important predictor of risk, with participants answering less than half of the HPV knowledge questions correctly. Conclusions: the results provide a potential knowledge base for future research on sexually vulnerable populations and represent a significant contribution to the nursing profession: despite knowledge of HPV and awareness of condom use as a preventive measure, university students continue to engage in risky sexual behaviour.

    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Enfermería, 2023-09-28) Caisaluisa Quimbita, Leydy Dayely; Herrera López, José Luis
    The present research was developed with the objective of "determining the knowledge on preventive measures for sexually transmitted infections in adolescents, taking as a reference the population of the Catorce de Julio-Juan Abel Echeverría Educational Unit" for which the quantitative approach of cross-sectional design was followed. The census sample consisted of a total of 200 adolescents from the Unidad Educativa Catorce de Julio-Juan Abel Echeverría, who responded to a survey to collect information on knowledge of STIs: 59% were female; 55% had already had sexual intercourse, of which 47% had sexual intercourse between the ages of 15 and 19; 82% indicated that in their first intercourse they could become pregnant; 57% used condoms as a safe method to prevent STDs; 75% used barrier methods; 18% considered that they could not become pregnant in their first intercourse and therefore did not protect themselves; 8% did not use contraceptive methods; 89% considered that the abstinence method was not to have sexual intercourse. It was established that 57% of adolescents in the EU have a high level of knowledge about preventive measures for sexually transmitted infections, although their knowledge is basic, they recognize some sexually transmitte d diseases.
