description This study aimed at analyzing the knowledge of the elderly on the prevention of AIDS before and after the practice of education in health. This is a quasi-experimental study with a quantitative approach, performed in the Social Assistance Reference Centers, with 60 seniors. It was developed in Parnamirim, RN, Brazil, from February to June 2014. Data were collectedthrough a questionnaire with closed questions about AIDS. In principle, most patients (61.6%) said they did not know what AIDS was, but this soon became reality after conducting a dialog lecture as a health education tool. There was a statistically significant difference. We conclude that education about AIDS is important to adopt a collective vision on the various socio-cultural contexts in which the elderly are inserted.
