Abstract

The objective of this study is the evaluation of an educative program intended to bring scientific knowledge to common sense persons about HIV/AIDS prevention. A participative study was carried out with clients of a health center. To the development of the program, an educative game was used. It had 30 cards with verbal and non-verbal messages about the topic. The discussion about those messages were observed and recorded. The analysis of the data made possible the elaboration of themes categories: “men, women and preservative”, “beliefs, attitudes, feelings and behavior”, “ pursuing meaning of life”, “media and HIV/IDS”. The evaluation of the program by the participants shows attainment to its objectives. The game was considered excellent to start the discussion about the topic and a good educational tool, in which knowledge raises freely from the encounter of scientific and common sense perspectives.
