Methods: It is a descriptive study with a quantitative approach, which was performed at a Public University in the Rio de Janeiro city with 255 students who answered a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: Among the young investigated, 181 (71%) were women and 74 (29%) were men; 93.7% were within the age group from 18 to 24 years old; 194 (76%) were sexually active; 110 (43.1%) adopt the condom in all sexual intercourse. Young people consider that they have all the knowledge about Sexually Transmitted Diseases (87/34.1%); Believe that gonorrhea infection can occur when using public restrooms (80/31.7%), and that there is a cure for hepatitis (102/40%). Conclusion: The findings show that college students assume risky behavior and demonstrate lack of knowledge concerning both prevention and transmission of Sexually Transmitted Diseases.
