摘要：This article discusses Aids prevention in Brazil in the midst of growing numbers of cases of the diseaseamong young people. A study was conducted between 2013 and 2017 to explore the sexual behaviorof high school students and their opinions regarding sexuality. The findings show that students haveadopted the prevention discourse and that religiosity influences beliefs and values relating to sexualinitiation, negatively affecting condom use from the onset of sexual activity. To ensure the right toprevention is upheld, it will be necessary to broaden public understanding about how religion as it isactually lived differs from religious politics. The effects of the reversion to moral discourses reminiscentof the military dictatorship and possible discontinuity of successful longstanding prevention programstargeting young people should be monitored. There is an urgent need to understand the dynamicbetween the old and new discourses that shape sexualization (often via social media) and access to“combination prevention” of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI)/Aids.
