Resumo: This study investigated the relation between love and different romantic relationships with variable vulnerability to HIV, such as sexual behavior and risk perception. Sternberg’s Triangular Love Scale and a structured questionnaire were used to ask 301 high school students about: romantic relationships, sexual behavior and risk perceptions. It was identified that the adolescents underestimate their own risk of contagion when they compare themselves with other individuals and also when they consider past and future possible HIV contagion. Love does not appear to be directly associated with the self-perception of risk, however, in conjunction with dating, it is a complicating factor for protected sex and was also related to the underestimation of risk of the partner. It was observed that stable relationships and love increase the students’ vulnerability to acquire HIV, because of the association of these with trust in the partner and the justification of risky practices, such as the non-use of condoms.

Este estudio investigó la relación del amor y relaciones románticas con variables de la vulnerabilidad al VIH, tales como comportamiento sexual y percepción de riesgo. Se utilizó la Escala Triangular del Amor de Sternberg y un cuestionario estructurado en 301 estudiantes secundarios, con preguntas sobre relaciones románticas, comportamiento sexual y percepción de riesgo. Se encontró que los adolescentes subestiman su propio riesgo cuando se comparan con otros y cuando consideran la posibilidad de contagio pasado y futuro. El amor no aparece directamente vinculado a la auto-percepción de riesgo, pero, junto con noviazgo, se presenta como factor que complica relaciones sexuales protegidas y relacionado con la subestimación del riesgo de la pareja. Se observó que relaciones estables y amor son elementos que aumentan la vulnerabilidad al VIH, al tener relación con confianza en la pareja y justificar prácticas de riesgo, como no usar condones. Este estudo investigou a relação do amor e de diferentes relacionamentos amorosos com variáveis de vulnerabilidade ao HIV, como comportamento sexual e percepção de risco. Utilizou-se a Escala Triangular do Amor de Sternberg e um questionário estruturado para inquirir 301 estudantes de ensino médio sobre relações amorosas, comportamento sexual e percepção de risco frente ao HIV. Identificou-se que os adolescentes subestimam o próprio risco de contágio quando se comparam a outros indivíduos e quando consideram a possibilidade de contágio passado e futuro. O amor não apareceu diretamente associado à autopercepção de risco, porém, juntamente com o namoro, apresentou-se como complicador do sexo protegido e relacionado à subestimação do risco do parceiro. Observou-se que relacionamentos estáveis e o amor constituem elementos que aumentam a vulnerabilidade ao HIV, por terem relação com a confiança no parceiro e por justificarem práticas arriscadas, como o não uso do preservativo.
