RESUMO

The purpose of this study is to discuss the prevention of STDs/AIDS and drug adiction, starting from listening to ten life stories from youngsters, between 19 and 25 years old, who are involved in prostitution at nightclubs from the city of Santo André-SP. Through the speech of each and every one of them, under the psychoanalysis approach, it was possible to notice that, although having information on the prevention methods against STDs/AIDS, the youngsters live an identity conflict shown in many levels of their discourse, which contributes to their vulnerability towards these diseases, mainly in their affective relationships. Based on these discourses, it was possible to identify the implications of this ambiguity while caring for themselves and the need of public policies that take prostitution into account, regarding this aspect, from a womans point of view.
