Sexuality is more than reproduction, it is an intrinsic part of each of us, is how we develop and relate with others and with the environment of the society to which we belong. Adolescence is a period with special vulnerability for the development of risky behaviors. In Chile, a progressive decrease in the age of sexual activity onset is observed, particularly in lower socioeconomic strata. The main consequences in sexual health are teenage pregnancies and the risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infections such as HIV. The main strategy for the prevention of this risks is a thorough sexual education, that has to be timely, objective, based on scientific evidence, friendly and confidential.
性不仅仅是生殖，它是我们每个人的内在组成部分，关乎我们如何成长以及与他人和我们所属社会环境建立联系。青春期是一个特别容易出现危险行为的时期。在智利，人们观察到性活动开始年龄在逐渐降低，尤其是在社会经济地位较低的阶层。性健康方面的主要后果是少女怀孕以及感染艾滋病毒等性传播感染的风险。预防这些风险的主要策略是全面的性教育，这种教育必须及时、客观、基于科学证据、友好且保密。
