“…This suggested that these young adults were not aware that condom use does not prevent STDs [27]. However, a study involving 367 participants conducted in Brazil reported that the frequency of condom use with a stable partner was significantly proportional to condom use with a casual partner and to the access to information on prevention given that lack of access to prevention supplies and information accounted for respondent programmatic vulnerability [29]. In a study that examined the knowledge and awareness of adolescents in northern European countries (Sweden, Ireland, Russia, England, Ukraine, Croatia, Finland, and Germany), the participants reported that the use of condoms helps protect against contracting an STD, although some of them still regarded condoms primarily as an interim method of contraception before using the pill [23].…”

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) affect mainly young individuals and cause health, social, and economic problems worldwide. The present study used a web questionnaire to assess the awareness, knowledge, sexual behaviors, and common practices regarding STDs in young Greek adults. The 1,833 individuals, aged 18–30 years, who responded to the study seem to be particularly knowledgeable regarding STDs such as AIDS (97.7%), warts (97%), Chlamydia (92.2%), genital herpes (89.9%), syphilis (81.9%), and gonorrhea (72.1%), whereas lower percentages were noted for trichomoniasis (39.3%), Molluscum contagiosum (12.9%), mycoplasmosis (11.6%), and amoebiasis (7.4%). Regarding oral STD transmission, participants replied correctly for genital herpes (45%), warts (35.8%), and AIDS (HIV; 33.8%), whereas 30.2% were unfamiliar with oral sexual transmission. Of the participants, 52% were not aware that STDs might cause infertility. Only 40.4% of the respondents reported always using condoms during sexual intercourse, and 48.6% had never been tested for STDs. The majority of the young population (55%) presented a moderate knowledge STD score (41–60%) and was associated with demographic parameters such as age, gender, sexual preference, number of sexual partners, and residence (p < 0.05). These findings provide important information regarding the prevention of STDs and highlight the significance of developing more effective sex education programs for young people in Greece.

“…Although 85.3% of participants reported not using condoms during sexual intercourse, it was not significantly associated with syphilis seroprevalence. Other Brazilian indigenous communities also reported a low frequency of condom usage during sexual intercourse 26 . Among females, awareness and guidance regarding condom use were provided at school, and these individuals showed a lower seroprevalence of T. pallidum infection 27 .…”

Indigenous communities in Brazil have a complex epidemiological profile, which increases their chances of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. However, limited data is available on Treponema pallidum infections in this population. We investigated the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with T. pallidum infection in an indigenous population of Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul. Blood samples were collected from September 2017 to March 2020, and the participants were interviewed to obtain comprehensive data on demography and sexual behavior. Serological tests were performed to detect T. pallidum infection. Besides conducting descriptive analysis, we performed Chi-squared tests and determined the bivariate odds ratio. The data were also analyzed using logistic regression. Among the 2190 invited individuals, 1927 (88%) were included in this study. The seroprevalence of T. pallidum infection was 2.91%. The results of a multivariate analysis showed that individuals who were 30–39 years old, with up to 4 years of school education, living in households without piped water, with a history of genital lesions, multiple sexual partners, and having a history of STIs had the highest seroprevalence of T. pallidum. This study showed that behavioral, social, and economic factors play an important role in the transmission of T. pallidum within the indigenous population. Thus, targeted intervention, including imparting education in the native language, mass testing initiatives, and implementing public policies to improve socioeconomic indicators, is needed to reduce the cases of syphilis in this community.

“…Most of them are not assisted and have limited access to health care, which tends to hamper the gynecological follow-up of women, leaving them more vulnerable to cervicovaginal infections and the development of CC. 6,7 This study aimed to identify factors associated with cervicovaginal infections in quilombola women from Feira de Santana, Bahia.…”

Justificativa e Objetivos: As infecções do trato reprodutivo são consideradas uma importante demanda da saúde mulher, dada a sua alta prevalência na população e as consequências que podem causar, entre elas, o parto prematuro, infertilidade e câncer de colo de útero. Ainda há mulheres que não realizam o exame capaz de prevenir essas infecções, o exame citopatológico, seja por falta de orientação ou oportunidade, como as mulheres quilombolas. Este estudo teve por objetivo identificar fatores associados às infecções cérvico-vaginais em mulheres quilombolas de Feira de Santana, Bahia. Métodos: Estudo transversal, de caráter quantitativo e descritivo. As coletas foram realizadas no período de novembro de 2019 a janeiro de 2020, com aplicação do formulário de anamnese com as variáveis selecionadas. Foi realizada análise bivariada para analisar as razões de chance entre as infecções e as características encontradas. Resultados: Foram estudadas 82 mulheres, com idade média de 45,3 anos. As principais infecções vaginais foram causadas por: Gardnerella vaginalis (17,1%), Trichomonas vaginalis (8,5%), Cocos (8,5%), Cândida spp. (6,2%) e Fusobacterium spp. (1,2%). Conclusão: Os resultados obtidos neste estudo mostraram correlação entre o processo inflamatório nas mulheres e a presença de alguma infecção. No que diz respeito às infecções, houve maior prevalência em mulheres com escolaridade baixa, sem parceiro fixo e que não realizavam o exame preventivo regularmente.
