To examine the relationship between geosocial application usage and
adoption of preventive practices for Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). Methods:
Descriptive, prospective and cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, with
256 students from the Federal University of Western Pará. The data were analyzed
with Bioestat® 5.0 software and the SciPy library from Python. Results: There was a
predominance of females (62%), 18-23 years old (68%) and heterosexuals (79%).
Factors associated with the use of applications were: sexual orientation (p = 0.0001),
frequency of using sexual protection (p = 0.0350), purpose of using sexual protection
(p = 0.0004) and frequency of STIs (p = 0.0029). Conclusion: Users of geosocial
applications are young. Homosexual individuals are more likely to look for these
platforms. Characteristics and particularities of application consumption are
associated with inconsistent use of sexual protection and propensity to perform STI
tests.
