Abstract	Introduction: Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections spread mainly through sexual contact. Most cases occur in adolescents and young adults. The present study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, behavior and transmission of STDs in adolescents from a public school after University intervention in the community through educational work done by medical students of ULBRA. Methods: A descriptive, epidemiological investigation with a quantitative approach, with 7th and 8th graders of a municipal school of Canoas, RS. Results: The study included 185 students with a mean age of 15.3 years. When asked if they knew STDs, 91.4% answered “yes”, with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome being the most cited disease. Most students receive information about this subject at school. The mean age of sexual initiation was 13.9 years. Regarding sex intercourse, 44.9% had already started it and 92.8% of these reported using condoms, pregnancy prevention being the most frequently reason for doing so. Only two students reported occurrence of infection in the past. Conclusion: The age of onset of sexual activity is early. A considerable number of young people is aware and uses condoms, although not with the intention of preventing diseases, but to avoid unwanted pregnancies. Most young people are fairly knowledgeable about the subject. Therefore, the University’s intervention in schools is highly valuable, since these are the places where teens claim to receive most information about STDs.
