This work aimed to analyze the perception of sexual health of social educator professionals from institutional reception units of adolescents in the municipality of Duque de Caxias and as specific objectives: To characterize the sociodemographic profile of social educator professionals from adolescent reception units; to describe the understanding of social educator professionals about sexual health. Method: Qualitative, descriptive-exploratory research conducted through structured interviews with ten social educators from two institutional reception units for adolescents from March to June 2019. The interviews were worked in the light of Content Analysis, emerging from the category "Sexual health under the gaze of social educators", subdivided into three subcategories: The conceptual perspective of sexual health by social educators; Perception of the personal sexual health condition of the social educators themselves; Self-care with Sexual Health. Main Results: Social educators are aged between 42 and 64 years, some of reproductive age, married, with complete high school, evangelical, labor bond in the institution from 15 months to 18 years. With regard to the conception of social educators about sexual health, they present an expanded concept, that is, in addition to biological, contemplating their general well-being. They highlight sexuality as part of sexual health, but permeated by taboos and prejudices, influenced by the world and family view that points to living based on norms, rules and conducts. They perceive themselves healthy by the absence of the disease. However, their sexual practices are unprotected because they trust the partner. They establish monogamy, reproductive planning and body care as self-care actions for their sexual health. Considerations: It is worth mentioning that the social educators of reception units are also with weaknesses over their sexual health, and can influence the care actions among adolescents in a welcoming situation.
