Objective: This research is aimed at describing the sexual behavior (before, during, and after diagnosis) of young peruvian adult women diagnosed with human papillomavirus (HPV). Method: A qualitative study was conducted and the semi-structured interview technique was applied to 8 women living in Lima (Peru), whose ages ranged from 21 to 28 years. Based on what was stated by the participants, the data collected were analyzed by using the elements of grounded theory and with the support of Atlas.ti v. 7.0 software. Results: The main findings show that participants, having little information on sexual health, had sex without using a condom. This exposed them to HPV infection, and, at the time of diagnosis, they felt fear, anger, and uncertainty about sex. Participants point out that they then obtained information about sexual health, resumed their sexual relations, regained self-confidence, and now are able to enjoy their sexuality. While they are now aware of their diagnosis, they know how to take care of themselves and the health consequences of HPV. However, they report risky behaviors, such as not using a condom or other barrier methods in their sexual relations. Conclusions: Women diagnosed with HPV have changed their sexual behaviors. Previously, they used methods to prevent pregnancy but not the spread of a STI. During the diagnosis, most of them decided to abstain from sex. More than one year after diagnosis, participants report that they have information on sexual health and that they have learned to enjoy their sexuality.
