Objective. To analyze the consensus and dissent of Catholics youths about HIV/AIDS prevention from their representations about sexuality. Methods. This is a quantitative and qualitative research based on the Theory of Social Representations carried out with 84 Catholics youths who answered online to the Free Word Association Test on Facebook and three questions about the influence of Catholic doctrine on the free exercise of sexuality and the adoption of practice safe sex. The techniques of Factorial Analysis of Correspondence and Semantic Content were used. Results. On sexuality, only the young women with access to higher education represented the term as a free practice that should not lead to guilt. There was a consensus on chastity, virginity, and sex within marriage as effective means of HIV prevention. It is also representational consensus of the young people that sexual practice is pleasurable, however, condemned by the church, and that AIDS is a preventable disease. Social representations have revealed dissent between men and women, while they consider that the exercise of sexuality should be restricted to marriage, they advocate sexual freedom. As for AIDS, they represent that the syndrome stems from prejudice, and they consider that vulnerability favors contagion. Conclusion. In the consensuses among the young people studied, there are sexist prejudices and stereotypes that influence HIV/AIDS prevention actions. Therefore, health professionals, especially those of Nursing should propose actions aimed at this age group in educational activities about the adoption of preventive practices on safe sex, always considering the social representations around the subject.(AU) Sexualidade e prevenção ao HIV: consensos e dissensos de jovens católicos Objetivo. Analisar consensos e dissensos de jovens católicos/as sobre a prevenção ao HIV/aids a partir de suas representações sobre a sexualidade. Métodos. Pesquisa quanti-qualitativa, fundamentada na Teoria das Representações Sociais, realizada com 84 jovens católicos, que responderam on-line no Facebook ao Teste de Associação Livre de Palavras e três questão acerca da influência da doutrina católica no livre exercício da sexualidade e na adoção de prática sexuais seguras. Foram utilizadas as técnicas de Análise Fatorial de Correspondência e de Conteúdo Semântica. Resultados. Sobre a sexualidade, apenas as jovens com acesso ao ensino superior representaram o termo como uma prática livre que não deve acarretar culpa. Houve consenso quanto a castidade, a virgindade e o sexo dentro do matrimônio como meios eficazes de prevenção ao HIV. Também são consensos representacionais entre os jovens que a prática sexual é prazerosa, entretanto condenada pela igreja e que a AIDS é uma doença que pode ser prevenida As representações sociais revelaram dissensos entre homens e mulheres, enquanto eles consideram que o exercício da sexualidade deve ser restrito ao casamento, elas defendem a liberdade sexual, quanto a AIDS eles representam que a síndrome decorre do preconceito, elas consideram que a vulnerabilidade favorece o contágio. Conclusão. Nos consensos entre os jovens estudados, há preconceitos e estereótipos sexistas que influenciam as ações de prevenção do HIV/Aids. Portanto, os profissionais de saúde, sobretudo os de Enfermagem, devem propor que, nas atividades educativas sobre a adoção de práticas preventivas sobre sexo seguro, ações voltadas para essa faixa etária, considerando sempre as representações sociais em torno ao assunto.(AU) http://aprendeenlinea.udea.edu.co/rev...
