- 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.
