O artigo tem por objetivo problematizar o acesso dos jovens aos serviços de prevenção de HIV/aids. Nos últimos anos, novas estratégias de prevenção ao HIV/aids foram disponibilizadas na rede pública de saúde. Em contrapartida, dados epidemiológicos apontam que jovens são afetados desproporcionalmente pelas epidemias de IST, HIV e sífilis no Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo de caso com abordagem qualitativa, realizado em um bairro periférico da cidade de São Paulo. Utilizaram-se três técnicas de coleta de dados: inquérito eletrônico, entrevistas semiestruturadas e grupos focais, direcionadas a jovens entre 17 e 24 anos. Os resultados evidenciam um descompasso entre a oferta de prevenção e o acesso dos jovens decorrente de ruídos no acesso à informação e da compreensão da temática relacionar-se a um tema considerado tabu. Conclui-se que a qualidade e a confiabilidade das informações somadas à moralização acerca da vivência da sexualidade, sobretudo de jovens, interferem no acesso às tecnologias de cuidado.

Abstract:
The article aims to problematize young people's access to HIV/aids prevention services. In recent years, new HIV/aids prevention strategies have become available in the public health network. On the other hand, epidemiological data shows that young people are disproportionately affected by the STI, HIV and syphilis epidemics in Brazil. This is a case study with a qualitative approach, conducted in a peripheral neighborhood in the city of São Paulo. The data was collected using three techniques: an electronic survey, semi-structured interviews and focus groups, with young people aged between 17 and 24. The research found that there is a mismatch between the availability of prevention and access by young people, due to the lack of access to information and the fact that the subject is considered taboo. The conclusion is that the quality and reliability of the information, together with the moralization of the experience of sexuality, especially among young people, interfere with access to care technologies.
