“…Finally, it is worth mentioning that in the bivariate analysis, being a young adult and having a low family income showed a statistically significant association for women with syphilis in having an unfavorable outcome during pregnancy (p=0.01 and p=0.05 respectively), reinforcing the importance of these variables as possible predictors of severe circumstances for the baby, a situation also found in all the regions in Brazil 7 and in the United States. 3 Young individuals are more likely to have STIs 21 and, in relation to syphilis, being at the most recent stage of infection, having the existing possibility of transmission. 12 Age and family income are associated to the minimum access of complementary exams during prenatal care, greatly impairing the quality of this assistance.…”

Objective: to analyze factors associated with unfavorable outcomes caused by syphilis infection in pregnancy. Methods: descriptive study carried out from May to August 2014, in public maternity hospitals. A questionnaire was administered to all women with a reactive Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) test result and the data were supplemented with information from medical records and prenatal files. The bivariate analysis was performed using Pearson's chi-square or Fisher's exact test. For the multivariate analysis, was used through the logistic regression model. Results: a total of 137 puerperal women participated in the study, of which 14.3% had an unfavorable outcome, namely: stillbirth (2.9%), preterm birth (8.8%) and low birth weight (2.9%). In the multivariate analysis the odds ratio for the prevalence of an unfavorable outcome was three-fold higher in women who did not undergo a second VDRL test (OR=3,54; IC95% 1,04-15,33) and two-fold higher in women with a VDRL titer >1:8 (OR=2,15; IC95% 1,11-11,2). Conclusions: The unfavorable outcomes occurred in women who did not undergo the second VDRL test and those whose VDRL titer was >1:8 performed in the maternity hospital.

Objective: To analyze the prevalence of the Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and sexual practices of truck drivers who travel through a capital of the Northeast. Methods:Cross-sectional study carried out from May to September 2013 with 384 truck drivers. Data were collected through application of forms and a rapid test with blood collection for detection of viral antibodies. Descriptive analyses consisted in frequency distribution and central tendency measures. To verify the predictive factors of multiple sexual partners, the Odds Ratio with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results:It was observed that all respondents were male and aged between 31 and 50 years. The identified risk factors were: low education (50%); alcohol use (69.5%); multiple sexual partners (50.3%); lack of use or sporadic use of condoms (56.3%). The HIV prevalence detected among truck drivers was 0.8%. Conclusion:In spite of the vulnerability of truck drivers to virus infection, with exposure to several risk factors, the prevalence of the virus was low. This prevalence was associated to risk factors present in the routine of truck drivers indicate vulnerability to HIV infection, making these people to be exposed to contamination, as well as contributing to dissemination of this virus among the general population.

“…As IST são consideradas um problema para a saúde pública, porque repercutem na saúde reprodutiva da população e podem causar infertilidade, perda fetal, morte prematura, infecções em recém-nascidos, câncer de pênis e cervical, além de ser um fator de risco para a infecção pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV). [1][2] O início da vida sexual, com frequência, ocorre na juventude e a média de idade da primeira relação é de 14,9 anos, ou seja, na adolescência. Na ocasião, a cognição e a tomada de decisão ainda estão em desenvolvimento, o que favorece para que os jovens fiquem mais vulneráveis e assumam comportamentos de risco como a prática do sexo desprotegido.…”
