Summary
The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), identified in the 1980s, is a major health issue. One of them is the behavioral changes that they experience when entering university, namely increased responsibilities, financial autonomy, power to make their own choices and decisions, increased contact with alcohol and drugs and more opportunities to use them, and unsafe sex They become more vulnerable to STIs/ AIDS, since vulnerability involves individual, social and programmatic components (Campo-Arias, Ceballo, & Herazo, 2010; Santos & Oliveira, 2009). Risky behaviors are related to: number of sexual partners, non-use of condom and/or contraceptive methods; sexual intercourse under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs; and sexual intercourse with little or recently known person These behaviors are associated with family and cultural variables, which influence the personality traits that are being developed (Campo-Arias et al, 2010; Falcão et al, 2007; Mehra, Kyagada, Ostergren, & Agardh, 2014; Santos & Oliveira, 2009).
