    This research aimed to determine the characteristics of the vaginal microbiota in asymptomatic sex workers attending the National Hospital Hipólito Unanue in Lima in 2020. Our vaginal microbiota helps maintain a healthy vaginal environment, with our lactobacilli preventing the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms. Proper maintenance of vaginal health reduces the risk of contracting diseases, particularly in our at-risk group of asymptomatic sex workers. This study is non-experimental with a quantitative, observational, prospective, cross-sectional descriptive design and a simple design. The study sample consisted of 60 asymptomatic sex workers. The study of vaginal microbiota characteristics revealed the protective capacity of the vaginal microbiota against external agents in our group of asymptomatic sex workers attending the National Hospital Hipólito Unanue in Lima. On average, 46.7% of asymptomatic sex workers tested positive for altered microbiota, including sexually transmitted diseases. It was concluded that the determination of characteristics in the studied asymptomatic sex workers regarding vaginal microbiota showed 45% positivity for diagnoses of vaginosis and vaginitis.
