OBJECTIVE: To identify sexual risk behaviors and associated factors in university students in Azogues - Ecuador, 2020. METHODOLOGY: It was a descriptive, cross-sectional, census-based, and quantitative research. Information was obtained from the database generated by a survey applied to university students who met the inclusion criteria; its statistical analysis was by prevalence ratio, using the binomial distribution, in the SPSS V23 software. RESULTS: It was shown that 53.5% of the participants presented some sexual risk behavior, of which 58.9% were women, and 90.7% reported being single. The variables that demonstrated significance were: other sexual orientations 3.2 times more (PR 3.22 CI 95% 1.43-7.23), under 16 years of age 82% (PR 1.82 CI 95% 1.04-3.18), use of contraceptive methods other than condoms 56% (PR 1.56 CI 95% 1.02-2. 36), sexually transmitted diseases 99% (PR 1.99 CI 95% 1.81-2.22), alcohol 2.1 times more (PR 2.11 CI 95% 1.37-3.27), drugs 61% (PR 1.61 CI 95% 1.02-2.53). In contrast, the number of sexual partners, religion, or academic performance did not influence the presentation of any sexual risk behavior. CONCLUSION: The age of initiation of sexual relation, use of contraceptive methods, sexually transmitted diseases, and alcohol and drug use were identified as sexual risk behaviors among university students.
