Resumen
El artículo resume notas de campo y entrevistas a profundidad realizadas a jóvenes de la comunidad turística de Puerto Viejo, en el Caribe Sur costarricense, sobre el tema de salud sexual y riesgo. Se argumenta que sus visiones acerca del cuerpo, de la intimidad y de la persona extranjera, además de ser fundamentales al distinguir las previsiones que deben tener en sus relaciones sexuales, se encuentran enraizadas en distinciones
de clase, de género y de raza. A partir de sus valoraciones en cuanto al uso del condón masculino, se ejemplifica cómo el empleo de técnicas de investigación cualitativas puede ofrecer insumos al debate tradicional sobre factores de riesgo desarrollado en el campo de la salud pública.
The article summarizes data from field notes and in-depth interviews on the subject of sexual health and risk with young people in the tourist community of Puerto Viejo -located in Costa Rica’s South Caribbean. It is argued that their views about the body, intimacy, and foreigners, are not only key to distinguishing the care they should have regarding their sexual relations, but also constitute reasons differentiated by class, gender and race. Besides, taking as example their assessment about the use of male condos, it is shown how the use of qualitative-based analysis can provide input to the traditional debate developed in the field of public health about risk factors.
