“…We feel certain that the students that participated in the present study have some knowledge on the prevention of STI and the importance of using condoms, which they have been exposed to since elementary school [42,51,52]. Several factors may nevertheless contribute to a tendency for risk-taking behavior in these students, including their young age, exposure to novel social environments at university, and their propensity for new experiences, which may make them more likely to neglect the need for basic protective measures to ensure their sexual health [43][44][45][46].…”

“…The female university students is a young female population of reproductive age that often engages in risky sexual behavior, furthermore, that population group in the Brazilian Amazon face a scenario of social vulnerability, in particular remote communities in the deep interior, as they do not have access to the gold-standard laboratory diagnosis for the screening of this asymptomatic infection and thus, prevention of possible late reproductive sequelae [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. The knowledge of the prevalence and circulating genotypes of C. trachomatis in Amazonian populations can help to understand the epidemiology of this infection and planning prevention strategies focused on these young women.…”

Background Approximately 80% of infected women infected by Chlamydia trachomatis are asymptomatic, although this infection can lead to serious complications in the female reproductive tract. Few data on Chlamydiainfection and genotypes are available in Amazonian communities. Objectives To describe the prevalence of and associated factors and to identify the genotypes of sexual C. trachomatis infection in female university students in different urban centers (capital and interiors) in the Brazilian state of Pará, in the eastern Amazon region. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed among young women attending public universities in four different urban centers in the eastern Amazon region. They were invited to participate in the studt and cervical secretions were collected for molecular diagnosis of C. trachomatis. We utilized amplification of the ompA gene by nested PCR. Positive samples were genotyped by nucleotide sequencing. Study participants completed a questionnaire on social, epidemiological, and reproductive health variables. A Qui-square and Binominal regression test were used to evaluate the degree of association of these variables with the infection. Results A total of 686 female students was included in the study. The overall prevalence of C. trachomatis was 11.2% (77/686). The prevalence of this infection was higher in interiors (15.2% vs 9.5%/ p: 0.0443). Female university students who do not have a sexual partner (11.8%/p <0.008), who do not use a condom in their sexual relations (17.8%/p <0.0001) and who reported having suffered a miscarriage (32%/p <0.0001) have high chances of acquiring this sexual infection. The ompA gene was sequenced in only 33 (42.8%) samples, revealing the genotype J was the most frequent (27.2% [9/33]), followed by genotypes D (24.2% [8/33]), and then genotypes F (18.2% [6/33]), E (15.1% [5/33]) K (6.1% [2/33]), Ia (6.1% [2/33]), and G (3.1% [1/33]). Conclusions The high prevalence of sexual infection by C. trachomatis in the female university students from the interior of the state of Pará, individuals with no fixed sexual partner, those that had had a miscarriage, the students that do not use condoms in their sexual relations. The genotype J of C. trachomatis genotypes was the most frequent. These data are important to help defining the epidemiological effects of chlamydial infections in Amazonian populations.

This scenario is not restricted to the Amazon region, given that similar sexual behavior has been observed in university students from other regions of Brazil [31,48] and from other countries, around the world [49][50][51].…”
