This study was conducted to explore the perception of adolescents about sexual health and HPV in the municipality of Santa Maria del Rio, San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Two phases were undertaken using free lists and pile sorts. The words hygiene and protection were more frequently associated to the concept of sexual health, while deadly and diseases were more frequently associated to the concept of HPV. Hygiene as an element in sexual health conception and HPV shows the vision of those who enjoy a good sexual health and of those who present poor sexual health. It is important to develop interventions based on a promotional perspective of health to prevent HPV in adolescents.
