A descriptive crosswise study of adolescent students within the National Education System in the City of Havana was performed to find out their sex knowledge and their initiation age of sex relations so that sexually-transmitted diseases (STD, HIV/AIDS) prevention strategies for this vulnerable and exposed group may be drawn-up in a second phase. The data collection way was a survey prepared and structured for this end. Prior to the survey, an specialized staff was duly trained and a trial was conducted to make some adjustments. There have been found a significant linking between sex and sex behaviour in the technological school students and higher percentages of heterosexual behaviour. Homosexuals and bisexuals are observed to be predominant in males. The average initiation age of sex relations was 12.8 years in junior high school male students
