OBJECTIVE: to analyze the knowledge of students of the Nursing and Medicine courses of a public university about technologies of prevention of acquired immunodeficiency virus (HIV) - Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (Prep) and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP). METHOD: this is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, and its population consists of 63 students of health courses of a public educational institution. RESULTS: 57.1% of participants attended Medicine, 42.9% attended Nursing, 96.8% answered correctly what means Prep and PEP, 63.5% knew how to use Prep, 66.7% corrected which sexually transmitted infections PEP prevents, 100% of the students answered correctly about the exclusion of condom use in Prep or PEP. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: In this study, students have knowledge about preventive prophylaxis to HIV (Prep and PEP). There may still be gaps in knowledge on the subject, which may influence the management of Prep and PEP and thus end up not fully taking advantage of the benefits that these technologies offer.
