“…15 In Brazil, sterilization is a very common means of contraception even in the general population, with rates being as high as 57% in women in the late reproductive years (40-49 years). 15,19 Our results confirm other Brazilian studies regarding age and number of children, with younger women showing a greater intention to have children, as well as women with less children. 11,16,[20][21][22] However, in the present study, women whose partners were also HIV-positive had less desire to have a child than the ones with a seronegative partner, an association not found previously in Southeast Brazil.…”

“…The median age of the first sexual intercourse reported was 17 (interquartile range, [15][16][17][18][19] and the median number of lifetime partners was three (interquartile range, 2-5). Forty-three percent reported, at least once in lifetime, having had casual sex, 1% of these in exchange for a gift, 7% in exchange for money, and 1% in exchange for drugs.…”

In Brazil, an increasing proportion of new HIV infections and AIDS cases involve women of reproductive age. To describe the reproductive desire of women with HIV/AIDS and to identify factors associated with the desire for motherhood, a cross-sectional study was carried out in the referral hospital for infectious diseases in Ceará State, northeast Brazil. In total, 229 women were included in data analysis. Median age was 32 years (interquartile range, 26-37), and 63% had a monthly family income of less than 210 USD. Forty-nine percent were using a contraceptive method, and 37% wished to undergo tubal ligation. Sixty-four percent of the latter women were motivated by the fear of having an HIV-positive child. Forty percent of the participants wanted to have a child. In the multivariate regression analysis, variables independently associated with women's desire to have a child were: younger age (in years, odds ration [OR] = 0.94; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.90-0.98), number of children (OR = 0.73; 95% CI: 0.57-0.96), and partner's desire for a child (OR = 3.35; 95%CI: 1.75-6.39). Having a partner who did not know about the woman's positive serostatus was negatively associated with the woman's desire for a child (OR = 0.17; 95% CI: 0.04-0.69). No variable related to clinical status was significantly associated with the outcome variable. Our data showed that many unsterilized HIV-positive women in northeast Brazil, at whatever stage of illness, have a desire for children. We recommend that nondirective counseling, consisting of helping women evaluate their own feelings, goals and needs with respect to reproductive options be provided.

“…24 We observed previously a similar trend in women from Pacoti. 25 Second, in the study population, younger age at sexual debut was associated with a higher number of sexual partners in life: 32% of the women who initiated sexual life before 16 years of age had at least three partners in life, while this proportion was significantly lower among women who initiated sexual life later (17.1%; P < 0.001). 14 Third, a higher number of sexual partners in life was the most important risk factor for the presence of HPV infection in our as well as in other studies.…”

“…In fact, in our study population, only 8% of women consistently used condoms in the last 12 months, and the use of another contraceptive method was the main reason for not using them. 25 Data from the NIS study show that the use of oral contraceptives was not an independent risk factor for high-risk HPV infection or cervical disease, differently from variables related to sexual behaviour. 28 Sexual behaviour in that study was different among oral contraceptive users, non-contraceptive users and in non-users of contraception.…”

Human papillomavirus genotype distribution and risk factors for infection in women from a small municipality in north east Brazil

et al. 2012

In order to assess the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, the HPV genotypes and factors associated with infection, we conducted a population-based survey in a small municipality in north east Brazil among women aged between 12 and 49 years. A questionnaire regarding socioeconomic variables, reproductive life and sexual behaviour was used, and women were examined gynaecologically, followed by collection of vaginal lavage with saline solution for HPV DNA determination. HPV DNA was detected by the Digene(®) SHARP Signal(TM)-System, and further genotyped by INNO-LiPA Genotyping System(®). Of 579 women, HPV infection was present in 68 (prevalence: 11.7%; 95% CI: 9.3-14.7). The most common HPV types were 16, 31 and 74, each accounting for 14.7% of infections. Of all HPV-positive women, 35.3% showed multiple HPV genotypes. Variables independently associated with HPV infection were: ≥3 partners in life (adjusted OR [aOR]: 3.06; 95% CI: 1.68-5.60) and the use of oral contraception in the last 12 months (aOR: 2.39; 95% CI: 1.33-4.30). Previous participation in a cervical cancer screening programme was protective (aOR: 0.28; 95% CI: 0.13-0.60). HPV infection is common among women from rural Brazil, and HPV genotypes identified indicate that immunization could be an important preventive measure in this population.

“…In Goiania, found a prevalence of 19.6% for Chlamydia trachomatis infection in 296 adolescents, of whom approximately 70% were assintomáticas 31 . In the State of Ceará, in research with 592 women, found that age less than 19 years was a risk factor for STD 32 . Being young was also a risk factor for STIs in a multicenter study of pregnant women conducted by the Ministry of Health, the chance of infection in pregnant women under the age of 20 years to present was OR=2.1 (95%CI 1.3-3.5) 24 .…”
