STIs, including HIV, are a serious issue, with a higher prevalence among men who have sex with men. In Peru, HIV is concentrated among individuals engaging in high-risk sexual behaviors and is associated with stigma towards transgender women. Methodology: A secondary data analysis was conducted on the ““First Virtual Survey for LGBTI Individuals in Peru,““ which took place between May and August 2017 nationwide, covering urban and rural areas in 24 departments and Callao. The survey focused on LGBTI individuals. Results: A total of 9077 participants were included. It was found that 11% of the subjects had STIs/HIV/AIDS. Risk factors varied based on gender and sexual orientation. In the male group (95.4%), age (PR: 1.01; 95% CI: 1.004-1.018; p < 0.001), lack of barrier method use (PR: 1.30; 95% CI: 1.004-1.707; p = 0.047), and being gay (PR: 1.56; 95% CI: 1.277-1.909; p < 0.001) were associated with higher risk. In the female group, altered mental health (PR: 2.23; 95% CI: 1.254-3.972; p = 0.006), lack of barrier method use (PR: 2.73; 95% CI: 1.492-4.995; p < 0.001), and a history of sex work (PR: 6.54; 95% CI: 3.154-13.564; p < 0.001) increased the risk. In the gay group, age (PR: 1.01; 95% CI: 1.004-1.017; p = 0.002) and a history of sex work (PR: 1.90; 95% CI: 1.641-2.211; p < 0.001) were associated with higher risk. Among lesbians, only a history of sex work (PR: 4.71; 95% CI: 1.228-18.128; p = 0.024) increased the risk. For bisexual individuals, lack of barrier method use (PR: 3.48; 95% CI: 1.632-7.426; p = 0.001) and a history of sex work (PR: 2.96; 95% CI: 1.986-4.434; p < 0.001) were related to higher risk, and males had a higher risk than females (PR: 4.97; 95% CI: 3.153-7.852; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Risk factors vary by gender and sexual orientation.
