It is made a description of those subjects with a promiscous sexual conduct and it is measured the force of association of the variables connected with this conduct and their priority order, It is established a risk prognosis function regarding the possibility of getting STD on the basis of a multivaried analysis, and the bases for an early attention program of the risk groups considered under a new conceptualization are proposed.
