Importance of sex education in school for the prevention of STIs/AIDS in adolescence

Prevention is an important factor to be included in the school program, since one tries to approach the subject only in science classes, with specific contents. However, it is noted that the topics addressed basically refer to contraceptive methods and biological conceptualization, focused on human anatomy and physiology. The objective was to bring information and alerts to students about possible infections transmitted by sexual intercourse without any form of prevention. The work was carried out in the class of the 8th year of the municipal school August 3 in the city of Vitoria de Santo Anto -PE, with the target audience in the age group between 14 and 16 years. The gymkhana provided young people to interact in a more didactic way, besides raising awareness about certain types of infections. Work contributes so that adolescents can later exercise sexuality with responsibility and safety.
