Introduction: Opportunistic infections are all those pathologies that develop in individuals with immunosuppression; such as patients with HIV; causing significant morbidity and mortality. For this reason, it is important to determine the risk factors that make the development of opportunistic infections likely. Objective: To determine the risk factors associated with the development of opportunistic infections in HIV-positive patients of the Regional Hospital. Materials and method: The study is of the associative correlational type, case-control type, retrospective. Sampling will be for convenience; non-probabilistic type for cases; As far as the control group is concerned, random sampling will be carried out. A sample of 204 patients was calculated using the Epi Info program; being 136 controls and 68 cases. For data analysis, the statistical program SPSS v.21 was used. Results: The risk factors associated with opportunistic infections were: in sociodemographic factors: age over 30 years with an OR of 2.07, the area of rural residence with an OR of 1.95 and the occupation that works with an OR of 2.33. Laboratory factors: T CD4 lymphocytes count, stage IV or T CD4 lymphocytes count less than 200 cells/ml. He obtained an OR of 78.37 compared to Stage I and detectable viral load with an OR of 13.7. In personal factors, harmful habits had an OR of 3.67. Within the therapeutic factors: the TDF/FTC/EFV treatment scheme with an OR of 2.81 compared to the TDF/3TC/EFV scheme, non-adherence to treatment with an OR of 2.52 and abandonment of treatment with an OR of 4.94. Conclusions: It was found as risk factors: age over 30 years, working occupation, rural area of residence, CD4 T lymphocytes count, viral load, harmful habits, the TDF/FTC/EFV scheme compared to the scheme TDF/3TC/EFV, non-adherence and abandonment of treatment
