The first stage aimed at identifying the needs for learning, with a survey anonymously conducted. In the second stage, extra-teaching educative actions were carried out, and last the results of the actions were assessed with the same survey.
Results: in the diagnosis, the worst answers provided by the students regarded the obtention of information sources, average time in Cuba for the HIV incubation period and the universal blood and body fluids precaution. The over-achievement of the educative actions characterized the second stage, while in the third stage near 100% of the answers were correctly provided by over 85% of the students.
