“…A range of physiological, socio-behavioural and structural factors have been proposed as explanations for the increasing STI incidence among older adults. 30 Ageing is associated with reductions in immune response which could increase susceptibility to infection. 31 Older women may be at an increased risk of acquired STIs due to reduced vaginal lubrication and thinning of the vaginal mucosa.…”

Aims: We describe the epidemiology of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV in people aged ⩾45 years in England and provide future projections about the burden of STIs in this age group. Methods: Analysis of national surveillance data in England from 2014 to 2019 for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, herpes, syphilis, anogenital warts and HIV was carried out. Time trends were assessed by the Poisson regression and reported using incidence rate ratios (IRRs). Two scenarios were modelled to predict the number of new STI diagnoses and associated costs in 2040. Results: In 2019, there were 37,692 new STI diagnoses in people ⩾45 years in England. Between 2014 and 2019, there was a significant increase in the rate of new STI diagnoses in men (IRR = 1.05, p = .05) and those aged 45–64 years (IRR = 1.04, p = .05). Absolute numbers of new STI diagnoses in men who have sex with men increased by 76% between 2014 and 2019 (IRR = 1.15, p < .001). In adults aged ⩾50 years, the number of episodes of care for HIV increased over time (age = 50–64 years, IRR = 1.10; age = 65+ years, IRR = 1.13; p <.001). The modelled scenarios predicted an increase in STI diagnoses and costs in older people by 2040. Conclusion: STI rates in England are increasing in people aged ⩾45 years. The population is ageing and older people will contribute an increasing burden to STI costs if this trend continues. The reasons for this trend are not fully understood and further longitudinal epidemiological research is needed. Sexual health promotion campaigns and healthcare interventions targeted at older people should be prioritised.

“…Poza tym badania wskazują, że rośnie częstość występowania zakażeń przenoszonych drogą płciową (STI) u starszych osób dorosłych, a najczęstszą drogą zakażenia są kontakty seksualne. Świadczy to o ich udziale w ryzykownych zachowaniach seksualnych (Melasio, Rodríguez, Torres i Hernández, 2021). Osoby w starszym wieku nierzadko decydują się na wchodzenie w nowe relacje i związki.…”

The aim of this article is to characterise the issue of sexual education of adults and to reflect on the potential needs of adults in this area. This rarely discussed in the specialist literature issue requires analysis. It is relevant not only from the perspective of andragogy, but also from the perspective of gerontology, special andragogy, educational gerontology or geragogy. There are several areas in which adults need sexual education, an education that is somewhat different from that ad dressed to children and adolescents. The first area is the realisation of sexuality education within the family. Parents have two important roles in this field: to educate their children and to support their children's sexual development. The research shows that parents often do not take up these roles due to lack of knowledge and misconceptions about children's sexuality. The second area relates to the personal area -here, education (as well as psychoeducation) can help to improve quality of life and sexual health, relations, and relationships and to deal with and solve problems in a person's sexual life. The third area is the education of professionals in the field of upbringing (pedagogues, teachers, educators) in supporting children and adolescents who reveal problems regarding their sexuality. The third area is the education of professionals from the field of schooling (pedagogues, teachers, educators) and healthcare in supporting children and adolescents who display problems regarding their sexuality.

“…Remaja dengan tingkat harga diri seksual dan efikasi diri yang lebih tinggi lebih mungkin untuk membuat keputusan yang tepat mengenai perilaku seksual mereka. Citra tubuh yang positif dan pemahaman yang sehat tentang seksualitas seseorang juga dikaitkan dengan sikap dan perilaku seksual yang lebih sehat (Curran et al, 2016;Gómez Melasio et al, 2021;Hales & Gannon, 2022). Selain itu, kecenderungan mencari sensasi dapat berkontribusi pada perilaku seksual yang lebih berisiko di kalangan remaja.…”

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi hubungan antara pola kelekatan orang tua dan keinginan untuk melakukan hubungan seks pranikah di kalangan remaja di Sukabumi, Indonesia. Penelitian ini juga meneliti peran faktor psikologis dan konteks keluarga dalam membentuk sikap dan perilaku seksual remaja. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian dengan metode campuran, yang melibatkan survei kuantitatif dan wawancara kualitatif. Sampel terdiri dari 500 remaja berusia 15-19 tahun. Data kuantitatif dianalisis menggunakan analisis korelasi dan regresi, sedangkan data kualitatif dianalisis dengan analisis tematik. Temuan menunjukkan adanya korelasi positif yang signifikan antara keterikatan cemas dan keinginan untuk melakukan hubungan seks pranikah. Keterikatan yang cemas juga muncul sebagai prediktor yang signifikan terhadap keinginan untuk melakukan hubungan seks pranikah, bahkan setelah mengendalikan variabel lain. Komunikasi orang tua-anak yang positif, dinamika keluarga yang mendukung, dan kepatuhan terhadap norma-norma budaya diidentifikasi sebagai faktor protektif terhadap keinginan seks pranikah. Hasil penelitian ini menyoroti pentingnya menangani pola kelekatan, mempromosikan komunikasi terbuka, dan mempertimbangkan konteks keluarga dan budaya dalam intervensi yang bertujuan untuk mempromosikan perilaku seksual yang sehat di kalangan remaja di Sukabumi.
