Objective: implement a project aimed at the promotion of sexual health as an alternative to the risk of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in adolescents. Materials and methods: A participatory action research study was carried out in three phases. In the first, topics and strategies were defined for the promotion of sexual health and the risk of HPV, with the participation of adolescents in discussion groups. During the second phase, a two-stage intervention program was conducted: the first consisted of information sessions by institutions, non-governmental organizations and sexual health professionals; in the second stage, activities aimed at promoting sexual health were carried out to avoid the risk of HPV with the support of adolescents. The last phase evaluated the limitations and the scope during the development of the project. Results: the participation of the members of the community allowed the definition of priority topics in sexual health and made it possible to approach them from a comprehensive and multidisciplinary perspective. Conclusion: There is an urgent need to define the concept of sexual health promotion in order to clearly understand the role of adolescents and how genuine participation can be positioned.
