Resumen:

The purpose of this work was to identify the factors which predict the risky sexual behavior in intermediate higher studies level undergraduates in public schools. It was applied an instrument to measure individual, social and cultural factors associated to risky sexual behavior (Uribe, 2007). In women, the results show there is a positive and significant correlation <0.01, about condom use shunning and risky sexual practices, .523; and in men, .332. In gender analysis, the risky sexual behavior predictors in women are condom use shunning, 27.3%, and communication and trust in family, virginity value and attraction for sexual activity explain the 33.5 for this formula; in men, the predicting factors for risky sexual behavior in addition to condom use shunning are the perception of using drugs and alcohol in sexual activity, the communication and trust in friends and the pride for sexual intercourse debut, with a total percentage of 14.6. For both men and women, the main predictor is condom use shunning; however, there are different factors for women and men, which indicate the pertinence of knowing the psychosocial and cultural aspects that influence differently on men and women regarding condom use shunning in sexual activity. © 2011 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
