Since the spread hiv/aids, both at global and national level, an important corpus of research documented the perception that different collectives held about the epidemic. Youth were one of the social groups more studied, with the aim of modifying those perceptions and behaviours promoting a scarce or null use of condom and thereby to develop preventive strategies aimed at reducing infection risks. By and large in Mexico, the accrued knowledge of this aspect of the epidemic mainly relates to urban and educated young people and in a much lesser degree to rural and indigenous youth. This paper accounts for the relevance that concepts of “community” and “city” acquire as references of the social construction of risk to hiv/aids amongst young indigenous students of los Altos de Chiapas who have migrated to San Cristóbal de Las Casas with the aim of studying. The findings and results here presented are based on information gathered through group interviews.
