Abstract

Introduction: although there has been progress in knowledge about HIV/AIDS, promoting adequate practices for its prevention in adolescents is a necessity.

Objective: design a proposal for an educational intervention on HIV/AIDS for adolescents in a medical office.

Method: a pedagogical study was carried out using the materialistic-dialectical method, in the medical office No-2 at Pedro Borrás Astorga University Polyclinic in the period from August to September 2019. The target group included 120 adolescents, 60 of them were chosen through simple random sampling¸ using different methods for the search and processing of information: theoretical, empirical and statistical (descriptive). An informed consent was obtained from the parents and tutors of the adolescents participating in the study.

Results: 60% of the adolescents had insufficient knowledge concerning the general characteristics related to HIV/AIDS. A proposal for an educational intervention on HIV/AIDS was designed to enhance comprehensive training in adolescents through six topics through methodological guidelines.

Conclusions: the proposal of an educational intervention on HIV/AIDS for adolescents from a medical office constitutes a way for comprehensive training and risk perception in adolescence. Its implementation favors the reduction of morbidity and mortality associated to this pandemic, as well as a solid aim related to knowledge for its adequate management, control and prevention.
