“…For ESC girls, the first sexual partner is about 4 years older, while for boys their first sexual partner is about 2 years older. Many ESC youth, particularly girls, experience forced or coercive sex in their first and subsequent sexual activities (Allen et al, 2013; Whiteman, 2004), and such sexual victimization is a risk factor for HIV and STIs (Lowe et al, 2008). …”

“…A mixed research design of quantitative and qualitative procedures is appropriate for also assessing the community-level drivers and peer influences on youth’s sexual attitudes and behaviors. Researchers will need to guard against a social desirability bias in responses, as in the case of ESC male adolescents who might over-report while young females might under-report their sexual activities (Allen et al, 2013). …”

Caribbean youth comprise about 30 percent of the English-speaking Caribbean population, and about 81,000 Caribbean and Latin American youth are HIV infected. AIDS is the leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-old English-speaking Caribbean youth. This article relies on intersectionality theory in the assessment of the macro-level, or structural variables, and micro-level, or individual level, variables that influence the risk-taking sexual behaviors of heterosexual English-speaking Caribbean youth and increase their vulnerability to HIV/sexually transmitted infections. This article offers macro- and micro-level prevention/intervention strategies for reducing the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections in English-speaking Caribbean youth, including the promotion of condom use, voluntary male circumcision, and HIV testing and counseling. Suggestions are offered for future research investigations to explore the contributing factors to youth’s vulnerability to sexually transmitted infections and to empirically verify the relationship between and among variables that account for desired outcomes, including decreases in risky sexual behaviors.

“…Reporting multiple sexual partnership is thus more common among males than among females [12]. The phenomenon of multiple sexual partners has been linked to high incidence of HIV [12][13][14][15][16], other sexually transmitted diseases [9], cervicitis [17] and cervical cancer [18] in females and prostate cancer in males [19].…”

Background: In-vitro fertilization is a component of Assisted Reproductive Technique.Objective: To evaluate awareness, knowledge and perception of final year medical students in In-vitro fertilization.Method: A semi-structured questionnaire was served to 126 participants in September 2015.Result: Mean [±SD] age of the 69 males (27.1 [4.2]) in the study was significantly difference (t=3.15; P-value=0.001) from that of the 57 females (25.1 [2.9]). In all, approximately 35%were sexually active 6 months prior to the survey, including 28% and 3% with one and with ≥4 heterogenous sexual partners respectively while almost 37% had never had sex. Three (5.3%) females and 2 (2.9%) males had their first heterosexual intercourse at age ≤15. Almost 63% of them heard of IVF during lectures. About 90% knew that IVF involves bringing egg and sperm together outside the body and putting fertilized egg back into the womb. While 84% regarded IVF babies as normal, 72% thought that it is too expensive, though 70% would opt for IVF in case of infertility. In all, 82% agreed that the wife is commonly blamed for infertility. Conclusion:Major source of information on IVF was during medical lectures. Most of the respondents knew of basic IVF procedure. Assisted Reproductive Technology should be stressed more in medical curriculum.

“…Diante disso, fica evidente a necessidade de medidas que visam postergar a iniciação sexual 33 , reduzir os relacionamentos sexuais transitórios com múltiplos parceiros e a promoção do sexo seguro pelo uso consistente do preservativo. Essas iniciativas devem ser complementadas com medidas de prevenção da violência sexual (abuso sexual de crianças, sexo não consentido) e da discriminação de gênero 34 .…”

IntroduçãoA adolescência é caracterizada por acentuadas mudanças corporais e psíquicas devidas à crescente produção hormonal que influencia o desenvolvimento emocional e o comportamento. A Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) considera adolescência o período entre 10 e 19 anos de idade. No Brasil, o Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (Lei nº 8.069/1990) a define como a faixa etária entre 12 e 18 anos 1 . As implicações jurídicas dessas definições são, às vezes, contrárias ao direito da população adolescente e podem interferir na prestação de cuidado à saúde física e emocional dessa população. O Ministério da Saúde do Brasil adverte que os adolescentes podem ser atendidos sozinhos, caso o desejem, e que devem ter a garantia de que as informações oferecidas nesse atendimento não serão repassadas aos seus pais e/ou responsáveis, bem como aos seus pares, sem concordância explícita 2 .A expressão afetiva, emocional e erótica do adolescente reflete a expressão do seu comportamento sexual, que é construído no seio familiar desde a mais tenra idade. Nesse processo, os pais têm um papel fundamental, pois são eles os primeiros a auxiliar a criança a interpretar o ambiente em que vivem, e são a primeira referência para a criança que passa a mimetizar suas ações. A partir do convívio social, a aprendizagem da criança se amplia, incorporando diferentes parâmetros conceituais advindos do meio. O comportamento adotado resultará da interpretação desses diferentes ambientes, refletindo na expressão da sexualidade, ou seja, na forma com que o adolescente expressa a sua feminilidade, masculinidade ou ambas 3 . Um ambiente de violência física, emocional, sexual ou de negligência pode repercutir sobre o comportamento sexual do adolescente 4,5 . Por outro lado, um relacionamento assertivo com os pais tem reflexo positivo sobre sua sexualidade e saúde geral 6 .O médico, especialmente o ginecologista, tem um papel importante na orientação sexual do adolescente visando sua saúde sexual 7 , mas a formação desse profissional para a abordagem da sexualidade é insipiente em nosso meio 8 . Isso contribui para que as orientações oferecidas por esse profissional sejam mais direcionadas para os riscos de doenças sexualmente transmissíveis (DSTs) e da gravidez não planejada em detrimento da abordagem do sexo como forma de prazer e informações sobre os riscos relacionados com a iniciação
