This study's interest relies on adolescents' social representations of unprotected sex, more precisely on the relationship between the attitude towards the preservative and the reason attribution for its non use. 1386 secondary school students took part in the study, in the Brazilian cities of Florianópolis, Itajaí and Balneário Camboriú. In order to verify reasons attributed by the students, we focused on the sample that had sexual experiences without using the condom during last year. Data was analyzed with software ALCESTE, which showed three different classes of explanations for the non use of the preservative: the moment of the intercourse (unpredictable and incontrollable), trust in the partner and the option of the contraceptive pill, instead of the preservatives, in avoiding pregnancy. The students' attitudes towards the preservative are less favourable among those who maintain sexual intercourse with known people. The results revealed two representations of AIDS: one of trust in the partner and another of the experience with sex and the preservative--the first one gives sense to the adolescents' experiences with known sexual partners and the second, with less known sexual partners.
本研究的关注点在于青少年对无保护性行为的社会认知，更确切地说是对避孕套态度与不使用避孕套原因归因之间的关系。1386名中学生参与了此项研究，他们来自巴西的弗洛里亚诺波利斯、伊塔雅伊和巴尔内阿里奥坎博里乌等城市。为了核实学生们给出的原因，我们聚焦于去年有过性行为却未使用避孕套的样本。数据使用ALCESTE软件进行分析，结果显示对于不使用避孕套有三类不同的解释：性交时刻（不可预测且无法控制）、对伴侣的信任以及选择避孕药而非避孕套来避免怀孕。在与认识的人发生性行为的学生中，他们对避孕套的态度更不积极。结果揭示了对艾滋病的两种认知：一种是对伴侣的信任，另一种是性经历与避孕套相关——第一种认知使青少年与认识的性伴侣的经历有了意义，第二种则与不太认识的性伴侣的经历相关。
