Background: Sexually Transmitted Infections are a public health problem worldwide, affecting sexually active people during different stages of life. The adolescence stage is the most vulnerable because it is characterized by the early onset of sexuality and the adoption of risky behaviors that expose their health to get infected with an STI, causing irreversible complications that affect their development. Objective: to determine the level of knowledge about STIs and their preventive measures of the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade high school students of the Public Educational Institution "N° 7230", Lima, 2021. Material and method: descriptive research, quantitative approach, and non-experimental design, with the participation of 174 students who met the defined selection criteria. The questionnaire was applied virtually through google forms, which was validated by López Huarcaya Y. with a reliability by Cronbach's Alpha of 0.885, later exported to the database in Ms Excel 2016 for statistical analysis with the STATA program version 16 in frequency distribution tables. Results: it was found that the level of knowledge about STIs and preventive measures that prevailed was low with 98.9% in students of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades of the Public I.E "N ° 7230", Lima - 2021.
