Abstract: In 1994, ASBL Namur-Entraide-Sida has been involved in a survey through questionnaires for teachers of the whole high schools in Namur (Belgium). Its purpose was to better notice what sort of viewpoints and modalities in preventing youngs from aids were developed or not during the school. From 2,435 questionnaires, 617 (25%) have been returned and analysed. Among the main results, the teachers' feeling was the professional training is adapted enough in order to response to this item in school and they also hope to improve the efficiency of the inside and outside collaborations. This survey has pointed out the teachers' prime perception of the risks for the pupils to be infected and that, in relation with their own exposition level. This last result leads us to wonder about the indicators which from the prevention from aids has been developed among the school children since the ten latest years. It has not to be forgotten that the urgency of the events is able to hide the stakes of the educative relation and ethic about the teenagers' prevention.
