Sexual behaviors and condom use in the Brazilian population: analysis of the National Health Survey, 2019

“…Between 2008 and 2018, there was an increase of more than 62% in the AIDS detection rate among young people aged 15-24 years, and in 2018 the highest detection rate was 50.9 cases/100,000 inhabitants in young males, in the age group of 25-29 years 9 . The increased incidence of other STIs, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, is also noteworthy 10 . A study that evaluated the trend of syphilis cases in the country between 2007 and 2017 showed a substantial increase in acquired syphilis (12.3 cases/100,000 to 81.4), syphilis in pregnant women (2.2 cases/1,000 live births to 16.9), and congenital syphilis (2.2 cases/thousand born children to 8.8), representing a crude growth rate of 561, 660, and 338%, respectively 21 .…”

“…Comparing AIDS detection rates between 2008 and 2018, there was an increase in young male populations between 15 and 19 years of age, which went from 3.7 to 6.0/100 thousand inhabitants; between 20 and 24 years from 18.4 to 35.8 /100 thousand inhabitants; and between 25 and 29 years from 41 to 50.9/100 thousand inhabitants 8 . Another example is the growing increase in syphilis detection rates in pregnant women and acquired syphilis 9,10 , which can be a sentinel event for the high rates of disease circulation in the general population.
