description Background: HIV continues to be one of the biggest problems for global public health. Objective: To determine the perception about HIV / AIDS in the users who attend the Basic Hospital of Limones, Esmeraldas province. Method: A mixed type, cross- sectional study was carried out, with a descriptive scope to measure the level of knowledge and risk practices that predispose to the transmission of the virus, through a questionnaire and an observation guide. The sample was 96 users who came for their attention. Results: 86% said they knew what HIV / AIDS was, 81% knew the ways of transmission; Signs and symptoms are known by 78%, the causal agent by 68% and prevention measures by 86%. The Internet and television were established as the main means of information. Regarding the practices that increase the risk of transmission, 12% said they had between 2 to 4 sexual partners and 7% more than 5. Regarding the use of condoms, 59% said they used it sometimes and 17% said they never use them and 68% have started their sex life in ages between 15 to 18 years. Conclusion: It was determined that the population studied has knowledge about the subject, but there are risk factors that increase the vulnerability of infection more frequently in adolescents and in the male sex. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen preventive measures and educational campaigns to reduce the transmission of HIV / AIDS.

Objetivo: Determinar la percepción acerca del VIH/SIDA en los usuarios que acuden al Hospital Básico de Limones, provincia de Esmeraldas. Método: Se desarrolló un estudio de tipo mixto, transversal, con alcance descriptivo para la medición del nivel de conocimientos y prácticas de riesgo que predisponen a la transmisión del virus, a través de un cuestionario y una guía de observación. La una muestra fue de 96 usuarios que acudieron para su atención. Resultados: El 86% aseguró conocer qué era el VIH/SIDA, el 81% los modos de transmisión; los signos y síntomas son conocidos por el 78%, el agente casual por el 68% y las medidas de prevención el 86%. Como principales medios de información se establecieron el internet y la televisión. Sobre las prácticas que aumentan el riesgo de transmisión, el 12% destacó tener entre 2 a 4 parejas sexuales y el 7% mayor de 5. Respecto al uso del preservativo, el 59% manifiesta realizarlo en ocasiones y el 17% refirió que nunca lo usan y el 68% ha iniciado su vida sexual en edades entre 15 a 18 años. Conclusión: Se determinó que la población estudiada cuenta con conocimientos acerca del tema, pero existen factores de riesgo que aumentan la vulnerabilidad de contagio con mayor frecuencia en adolescentes y en el sexo masculino. Por tanto, se requiere fortalecer las medidas preventivas y campañas educativas para reducir la trasmisión del VIH/SIDA.Pontifica Universidad Católica del Ecuador Sede Esmeraldas2019-11-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistas.pucese.edu.ec/hallazgos21/article/view/468Revista Científica Hallazgos21; Vol. 4 Núm. 3 (2019): REVISTA CIENTÍFICA HALLAZGOS21; 274-2822528-79152528-7915reponame:Revista Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador - Sede Esmeraldasinstname:Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador - Sede Esmeraldasinstacron:PUCESEspahttps://revistas.pucese.edu.ec/hallazgos21/article/view/468/378https://revistas.pucese.edu.ec/hallazgos21/article/view/468/379info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-09-08T23:30:45Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/468Institucionalhttps://revistas.pucese.edu.ec/Universidad públicahttps://www.pucese.edu.ec/..Ecuador.2550-665X1390-9800opendoar:02025-04-20T07:36:36.461406Revista Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador - Sede Esmeraldas - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador - Sede Esmeraldastrue
