Resumo: | The purpose of this study was to evaluate the level of knowledge of university students in Vitória de Santo Antão about syphilis. This is a cross-sectional exploratory research with a quantitative and qualitative approach, carried out with university students in Vitória de Santo Antão, Pernambuco, through the applications of a questionnaire. This questionnaire had 39 objective and 3 subjective questions to assess students’ level of knowledge about syphilis, estimating the prevalence of syphilis infection among students and relating the presence of infection to students’ socioeconomic and demographic conditions. The participants in this research demonstrated sufficient knowledge about syphilis knowing how to differentiate the three stages and how the infection is transmitted and prevented. Although most of the research participants declared that they did not use condoms in all the relationships they had, and that they had not been tested in the three months prior to the research, it was possible to observe that they have knowledge about the symptoms of each phase and the best forms of prevention. Although it was found that uneversity students’ knowledge about syphilis was sufficient from the analysis of the questionnaire responses, the need to promote awereness-raising actions and the construction of critical thinking regarding the implementation of safer sex could still be seen. |

Se trata de una investigación exploratoria transversal con enfoque cuantitativo y cualitativo, realizada con estudiantes universitarios de Vitória de Santo Antão, Pernambuco, mediante la aplicación de un cuestionario. Este cuestionario contó con 39 preguntas objetivas y 3 subjetivas para evaluar el nivel de conocimiento de los estudiantes sobre sífilis, estimando la prevalencia de infección por sífilis entre los estudiantes y relacionando la presencia de infección con las condiciones socioeconómicas y demográficas de los estudiantes. Los participantes de esta investigación demostraron tener suficiente conocimiento sobre la sífilis para poder diferenciar las tres etapas y cómo se transmite y previene la infección. Aunque la mayoría de los participantes de la investigación declararon no usar preservativo en todas las relaciones que tuvieron, y que no se habían hecho la prueba en los tres meses previos a la investigación, se pudo observar que tienen conocimiento sobre los síntomas de cada una fase y las mejores formas de prevención. Aunque se constató que el conocimiento de los estudiantes universitarios sobre la sífilis fue suficiente a partir del análisis de las respuestas del cuestionario, aún se pudo ver la necesidad de promover acciones de sensibilización y la construcción de un pensamiento crítico sobre la implementación de prácticas sexuales más seguras.O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o nível de conhecimento de universitários de Vitória de Santo Antão sobre a sífilis.
