Introduction: considering the relationship between human papilomavirus and cervical cancer, the current increase in sexually transmitted diseases constitutes the biggest threaten to adolescents’ health.
Objective: to characterize high-degree intraepithelial cervical lesion in adolescents and young women.

Risk factors and diagnosis variables were studied and processed using the SPSS 11.5 system for Windows, through the determination of absolute and relative frequencies.
Results: 78,8 % of patients had from 20 to 24 years old, 65,3 % of them began having sexual relationships between 15 and 17 years old, 62,2 % had had 3 or more sexual partners and 67,3 % used no contraceptive method. Cyto- histological correlation was of 100 % for intraepithelial cervical lesion II and III.
Conclusion: the results of the present study compromise us to highlight the need of extended sexual education among young people.
