Methods: descriptive transversal study with a quantitative approach.Participants were 36 blind individuals. The questionnaire Knowledge, attitude and practice about sexually transmittedinfections was used. Absolute and relative frequencies were calculated. There were Chi-square test and chi-square Exact.Results: most participants are elderly, unmarried, with elementary school and not working. Knowledge, attitude andpractice about sexually transmitted infections are inadequate (p<0.05). Religion (p<0.001), work (p<0.001), not workingreason (p<0.001) and education (p=0.003) had associations with the attitude about sexually transmitted infections. Gender(p<0.001), marital status (p=0.019) and education (p=0.020) had associations with practice. There was no associationbetween sociodemographic characteristics and knowledge.
