“…This corroborates the results of research carried out in São Paulo and Recife, where the less educated had incorrect information on forms of prevention and contagion, reflected by a higher prevalence of STDs in this group 26 . It is understood that some questions of an educational nature may interfere with the adoption of methods of prevention, for example, low education may contribute to the increase of these infections.…”

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.

“…In addition, it was observed that there is an increase in sexual relations and a gradual cessation of condom use over the course of the relationships, suggesting that the concern with STD is restricted to the beginning of the relationship, reducing significantly as familiarity with the partner increases, which has also been found in other studies (Arraes et al, 2013;Garcia & Souza, 2010;Oliveira et al, 2009;Oltramari & Camargo, 2010). In this regard, there is a minimum time period considered necessary for the knowledge of the partner and the establishment of a relationship of trust, in which condoms may be dispensed with in favor of the contraceptive pill.…”

“…Various studies have also found a relationship between the length of the relationship and protective behaviors in relation to HIV, showing that the use of condoms reduces over the course of the relationship (Arraes et al, 2013;Bralock & Koniak-Griffin, 2009;Garcia & Souza, 2010;Oltramari & Camargo, 2010) and is significantly more frequent in casual relationships than in stable ones (Giacomozzi & Camargo, 2011;Camargo et al, 2010;Garcia & Souza, 2010;Oliveira, Pontes, Gomes, & Ribeiro, 2009). The adoption or not of protective conducts in relation to HIV is linked to the evaluation which the person makes in relation to their own exposure to the virus, which also has to do with the perception of the extent to which the partner represents a risk for the occurrence of contagion.…”

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.

resumo introdução:No contexto das doenças crônicas transmissíveis, a pandemia da aids vem gerando discussões em âmbito internacional sobre as formas de controlar seu avanço, inclusive na população idosa, a qual apresenta incidência considerável de casos. objetivo: Investigar o conhecimento e verificar a percepção de risco de idosos quanto à contaminação por Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis (IST) e HIV. métodos: Tratase de estudo descritivo de natureza quantitativa realizado com 55 idosos participantes de grupos em duas unidades de saúde da família interligadas à rede-escola. resultados: A maioria dos idosos era entre 60-70 anos, sexo masculino, casados, católicos, com o nível fundamental incompleto. Além disso, 40% dos idosos citaram o uso do preservativo como principal método de prevenção às infecções sexuais, 21,9% responderam que o HIV é transmitido de uma pessoa para outra por meio do contato sexual e 38,2% citaram que a doença não tem cura. Sobre a percepção de risco, 76,4% referiram que não tinham nenhuma possibilidade de adquirir Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis ou HIV. Tal fator pode contribuir para que essa população se considere pouco vulnerável à contaminação ou não se perceba em risco, o que os torna susceptíveis ao perigo da infecção, favorecendo o aumento do índice de idosos infectados no cenário nacional. Conclusão: Cabe aos organismos governamentais e não governamentais investir em práticas educativas, onde idosos possam ser inseridos em um ambiente que aborde a sexualidade, proporcionando maior segurança e qualidade de vida aos nossos cidadãos.Palavras-chave: idoso; doenças sexualmente transmissíveis; HIV.
