Out of 540 women, a sample of 32 was chosen through a single randomized method. Age, occupation, instruction level, knowledge of the topic, risk groups, routes of infection, and control ways were among the analyzed variables. Satisfactory results related to the information acquisition or increase about this sexually transmitted disease were obtained in 6 learning events.
