This article aims to discuss the presence of stigmas and prejudices in the face of HIV/AIDS, pointing out its historical traits in the educational environment towards young people living with HIV. Faced with this phenomenon, a study was carried out with 12 young people between 15 and 24 years old in the city of Cuiabá- MT. The qualitative research investigated the meanings of these young people living with HIV in the educational environment: the teaching-learning process, power relations - stigmas and prejudices - in front of their peers. We worked on a theoretical-methodological view of Social Constructionism through the analysis of linguistic repertoires investigating the production of meanings enunciated by discursive practices. It was observed in the results, reports of those who were victims of stigmas and prejudices and / or how they appeared unanimously among the voices, probably would be victims of prejudice and isolation if someone knew of their seropositive status, reporting the fear of exposing themselves to colleagues and teachers. There are also consonances in the findings about school silences in the face of issues such as HIV / AIDS / Prejudice, since in the few times that there was any work related to this issue, epidemiologically limited to biology classes. Such environments are vulnerable, lacking support - as teacher training - to deal with these realities of our contemporaneity, as well as to address such important issues in mitigating the sexual vulnerabilities of our youth.
