Abstract

This experience report, the result of PET- Health UFBA, describes the profile of users looking for the São Francisco Health Center in Salvador-Bahia to meet serology for STDs, discussing the relationship between level of education, type of relationship and protected sexual practices. We used descriptive and inferential analysis of secondary data in the form of 729 service users who underwent voluntary testing of HIV - AIDS, Syphilis and Viral Hepatitis, between 2009 and 2012. It was observed that the percentage of users who use condoms during sexual intercourse is greater with increasing the level of education. Although there are considerable number of users who do not use condoms during intercourse with steady partners, even among the educated. He participation of students from different health areas in PET- Saúde has improved scientific, relational and techniques skills, in addition to produce knowledge.
