“…This index reaches levels similar to other international surveys conducted by the WHO 22,23 . By contrast, the presence of syphilis has been observed both in old age as well as in both sexes in some studies 24,25 . The authors hypothesize that pharmaceutical innovations have prolonged the sexual life of individuals, causing an increase in promiscuity mainly in men 24,25 .…”

“…Marriage is highlighted as a protective factor against disease. Love, loyalty, respect, trust, and complicity create a romantic vision and can lead to the abandonment of the use of condoms, believing they are protected 24,25 . It appears, therefore, that the use of condoms involves socio-cultural issues, which differ among genders, ages, and types of partnerships.…”

Introduction:The implementation of the rapid test (RT) for syphilis increases access of vulnerable populations to early diagnosis and treatment, impacting the outcomes of infection. We aimed to assess the prevalence of and factors associated with syphilis in a Center for Testing and Counseling (CTC). Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study at a Reference Center for sexually transmitted disease (STD) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome in Londrina, Northern Paraná State, Southern Brazil. Data regarding the 5,509 individuals who underwent RT from June 2012 to December 2014 were collected from patient records and the CTC Information System and served as the basis to check associations of syphilis cases (346) and cases without syphilis (5,163). Nine patients' records were not found. OpenEpi was used to perform a prevalence analysis and determine odds ratios to assess the associations between sociodemographic and behavioral variables (independent variables) and cases of syphilis (dependent variable). An alpha value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The prevalence of syphilis was 6.3%; higher in males (7.5%) than in females (4.3%, p <0.001). Syphilis was associated with an age of 25-34 years, little education, and single marital status. The main associated behavioral factors were men who have sex with men, drug users, STD patients, and those presenting with an STD in the last year. The use of alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, and crack was significantly associated with syphilis. Conclusions: Strategies for prevention and control of syphilis should be intensified, especially in populations identified as most vulnerable.

“…Este fato parece estar associado a diversos fatores de vulnerabilidade pessoal e social (SILVA, VARGENS, 2009;BRANDÃO, 2006), tais como: medo do agressor (DATASENADO, 2013); baixo nível de conhecimento sobre direitos ou por descrença no sistema jurídico (na polícia e na Justiça) (DIAS, 2007); falta de condições econômicas para viver sem o companheiro; a preocupação com os filhos e o medo de estarem sujeitas a reações mais violentas pela parte agressora ao se verem denunciadas (BRASIL, 2010;BENFICA, VAZ, DUTRA, 2007).…”

“…Various studies have shown that risk in relation to HIV is perceived as a context which is distanced from the individuals (Adefuye, Abiona, Balogun, & Lukobo-Durrell, 2009;Albuquerque, Moço, & Batista, 2010;Camargo, Giacomozzi, Wachelke, & Aguiar, 2010;Giacomozzi & Camargo, 2011;Silva & Vargens, 2009;Sychareun, Thomsen, Chaleunvong, & Faxelid, 2013). Referring directly to the young, studies indicate that they tend to underestimate their risks of infection by HIV and to overestimate the risks of their peers (Anderson, Beutel, & Maughan-Brown, 2007;Mwale, 2008).…”

This study investigated the relation between love and different romantic relationships with variable vulnerability to HIV, such as sexual behavior and risk perception. Sternberg’s Triangular Love Scale and a structured questionnaire were used to ask 301 high school students about: romantic relationships, sexual behavior and risk perceptions. It was identified that the adolescents underestimate their own risk of contagion when they compare themselves with other individuals and also when they consider past and future possible HIV contagion. Love does not appear to be directly associated with the self-perception of risk, however, in conjunction with dating, it is a complicating factor for protected sex and was also related to the underestimation of risk of the partner. It was observed that stable relationships and love increase the students’ vulnerability to acquire HIV, because of the association of these with trust in the partner and the justification of risky practices, such as the non-use of condoms.
