Introduction: Sexually transmitted infections are a public health problem worldwide. Their inadequate antimicrobial management has been associated with a higher risk of recurrence. Objective: To characterize the main sexually transmitted infections, the adherence to clinical practice guidelines in Colombia, and the factors associated with recurrence. Materials and methods: This observational study identified the main sexually transmitted infections, sociodemographic variables, and pharmacological management in a patient cohort from a population database of 6.5 million people affiliated with the Colombian Health System. A multivariate analysis was performed to identify variables associated with recurrence. Results: A total of 3158 patients were identified, with a mean age of 41.8 ± 14.5 years, and 63.1% were men. There were 4030 episodes of sexually transmitted infections, predominantly urethral syndrome (27.5%). Only 13.6% of patients with urethral syndrome, ulcerative syndrome, or genital warts were managed in compliance with clinical practice guidelines. A total of 20.6% of patients were dispensed condoms. A total of 16.7% of all patients had recurrences, and being male (OR:1.32; 95%CI:1.08-1.63), being <30 years old (OR:1.72; 95%CI:1.40-2.13), being treated in municipalities other than capital cities (OR:1.43; 95%CI:1.06-1.94), and having received inadequate treatment for the first episode (OR:1.93; 95%CI:1.52-2.39) were associated with recurrence. Conclusions: The majority of patients with sexually transmitted infections were not treated in compliance with clinical practice guidelines, and those who did not have adequate management had a higher risk of recurrence.

“…For the composition of the sample, 11,498 individuals were considered, which corresponds to the sum of the total number of residents of these communities: São Rafael (n = 1,800), São José (n = 7,078), Tito Silva (n = 1,140), Porto do Capim (n = 550), and Comunidade do S (n = 930). To determine the sample size, a confidence interval of 95%, a desirable margin of error of 5.4%, and an estimated frequency of 26.15% were assumed ( 14 , 15 ) . Thus, the study sample consisted of 250 individuals.…”

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of syphilis and associated factors in riverine communities. Method: This is a cross-sectional and analytical study carried out with 250 riverside dwellers living in five communities in the city of João Pessoa, state of Paraíba. Data were collected through interviews and rapid screening tests to investigate syphilis. Bivariate, logistic regression and weight of evidence analysis were performed to identify the association between risk factors and behavior variables and rapid test positivity. Results: he prevalence of syphilis was 11.6% (95%CI: 7.5–15.6). Riverside dwellers who have a previous history of Sexually Transmitted Infection (OR 8.00; 95%CI: 2.76–23.2), history of imprisonment (OR 7.39; 95%CI: 1.61–33.7) and who reported having more than two sexual partners in the last 12 months (OR 4.31; 95%CI: 1.55–11.9) were more likely to be positive for syphilis. Conclusion: High prevalence of syphilis among riverside dwellers and the presence of behavioral factors that increase vulnerability to acquiring the infection. The need to invest in preventive and screening strategies for syphilis in populations considered vulnerable is highlighted.

“…Other aspects of the health of settlers were analyzed recently, such as the use of drugs, alcohol, cases of arterial hypertension, diabetes, leisure practices, physical activity, vaccination, STDs, and health care (BOSSO et al, 2020;DE AMORIM et al, 2018;MOURA et al, 2014;SILVA et al, 2017). One survey showed that about 75.9% to 86.7% of the settlers do not use tobacco, 82% to 96% do not use alcohol, and 82.8% to 91.3% do not use other drugs (BOSSO et al, 2020).…”

Settled families and rural workers face precarious living and working conditions that weaken their health and access to quality education. Health and education indicators are important parameters for planning and implementing public policies to improve these subjects' access to health and education. In light of this, this scoping review aimed at identifying the health and education conditions of families and workers living in rural settlements in Brazil. The SciELO, Scopus, and PubMed databases were searched. After the study screening process, thirty articles published between 1997 and 2021 were included in the review. The studies showed that families and settled workers are highly vulnerable in terms of health and education, with emphasis on the difficulty of accessing health services, leisure and physical activity, goods, and services such as transportation, basic sanitation, and income, as well as all levels of education, especially higher education. The main causes of the advances observed in the conditions of access to education were the constitution of rural education and the National Rural Education Program (Programa Nacional de Educação na Reforma Agrária [PRONERA]). The democratization of access to health and education services in rural settlements depends on public policies that focus on valuing the socioeconomic, cultural, and educational context of rural people. Therefore, interventions and public policies must aim at expanding access to health and education services in the settlements and promoting autonomy in the relations between work and production.
