ISSUES: To develop a process of reflection and analysis since the beginning of the school age in order to accomplish on appropriate sexual education using the school boundary.

DESCRIPTION: Prevention is an efficient weapon to fight HIV/AIDS that encouraged us to make some educational action with children from the second group of the primary teaching by means of some didactic computer game.

ISSUES: Motivation toward the game helped the formation of knowledge about HIV/AIDS in a fast way. Children acquired human and moral values that allow them to have a healthy sexual life when they will be adults. RECOMMENDATION: Would be helpful the use of some roll-play techniques or debate activities to reinforce the knowledge acquired in this game. We also recommend to extent this game to other schools.
