The article in question discusses the lack of and/or access to adequate information about sexually transmitted infections - ITI's and HIV/AIDS where access should occur in the school space-time from Sex Education in Basic Education. To this end, it was decided to carry out a bibliographic research supported by the following authors: Saito; Leal (2000), Dacroce; Corrêa (2021), Freire (2021). Danzmann et al (2022), Cruz (2022) among others added to official data, Brazil (2022). It was observed from the bibliographic material found that adolescents are insecure about the discovery of sex and sexuality, as well as access to proper information about ITIs and HIV/AIDS, since parents/guardians do not give feedback due to the concerns of adolescents in their phases of change. It is concluded that the school space-time is the appropriate place for teachers and health professionals to provide adequate information to adolescents about their physical and psycho-emotional changes, sex, sexuality, prevention of STIs and HIV/AIDS, so that the discovery of sex and their sexuality is not permeated by uncertainties and traumas.
