Abstract

As school has been a crucial space for the development of knowledge and abilities in order to assure changes of behavior and considering the lack of reports about sexuality and STD/AIDS to the students, the present study aims to search scholars from three classes of high school, from a town surrounding the city of Ribeirão Preto - São Paulo. Authors identified students' problems by carrying out and assessing joint educative actions on the problems that have been found. Results have showed that these students relate AIDS to fatality and temerity and perhaps they are influenced by the message issued at the first decade of the history of this disearse while now, the tendency is to work with up to date knowledge and abilities. They form an opinion about AIDS as a sex and preventible disease. A it however, authors detected misinformation in another basic aspects. Therefore, we suggest nurses to work hard with this question.
