Background: The frequency of infection by HIV in Amazonian communities shows dissimilar results in different, evaluated communities. The Shipibo-Konibo community is the second Amazonian ethnic groups in Peru and has been reported for high proportions of HIV infections in closing regions. However, there are no studies that have evaluated the frequency of this infection in this ethnic group. Objectives: Evaluate the frequency and associated factors with the presence of HIV infection in the Shipibo-Konibo community of the province of Ucayali in the Department of Loreto. Methods: A transversal analytical study is presented based on the screening charts obtained during the active surveillance conducted by the Contamana Health Center in care visits from March 2017 to March 2018. The final diagnosis of HIV infection was based on two positive rapid tests. Results: Data was obtained from 461 inhabitants, with a prevalence of 11.49% of HIV infection. The 63.9% were female and the median age was 27-year-old. Forty-five pregnant women were tested, and 12 of them (27%) were HIV (+). In the multivariate analysis, we found that age (OR = 0.927), low weight ((OR= 12.771) and diarrhea (OR= 36.409) were significantly associated with the presence of HIV infection. Conclusions: The population of the Shipibo-Konibo ethnic group showed a high prevalence of HIV infection (11.49%), above to the national average. We believe that urgent measures should be implemented based on cultural context of this population to avoid the development of an epidemic of HIV infection in this community.
