“…A low prevalence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) was observed in the oral mucosa of HIV-1 carriers with gingivitis and chronic periodontitis in the city of Belém, Pará [ 50 ]. A high prevalence of HBV co-infection among HIV-1 carriers was observed in the state of Piauí, with the identification of genotypes A, F and D [ 51 ] and a low prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Belém, Pará [ 52 ]. HPV was detected in small proportion (26.8%), with the predominance of types of low oncogenic risk and a positive correlation with the decrease in the amount of CD4 + T lymphocytes in HIV-1 patients in Belém, Pará [ 53 ], but anti- C. trachomatis and anti- C. pneumoniae antibodies [ 54 ] and syphilis [ 55 ] were detected at high levels of infection.…”

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) represent a worldwide public health problem and, although many of them are curable, they continue to be neglected, especially in areas with a low human development index, such as in the northern region of Brazil. This review describes the results of 30 years of studies at the Virus Laboratory at the Federal University of Pará, including the prevalence and molecular epidemiology of HIV-1, HTLV-1/2, HPV, HBV, Treponema pallidum and Chlamydia trachomatis among urban and non-urban populations, and also in vulnerable groups in the Brazilian Amazon. Control strategies and challenges in preventing STIs are discussed considering this immense geographic region, where essential health services are unable to reach the entire population, especially the most vulnerable, such as female sex workers, people who use illicit drugs, remnants of quilombolos and indigenous communities.
