“…Estudos recentes apontam que há uma prevalência significativa de ISTs entre os jovens. O que segundo eles pode estar ligado a diversos aspectos como o desconhecimento sobre as formas de prevenção; a descrença nessas doenças; a sexualidade iniciada de forma prematura; multiplicidade de parceiros, comportamentos de risco, entre outros (Camargo & Ferrari, 2009;Castro, Araújo, & Pitangui, 2017;Doubova, 2017;Genz et al, 2017;Kumar et al, 2018;Sanz-lorente, Wanden-Berghe, & Castejón-Bolea, 2018;Tributino et al, 2018).) Acredita-se que com o avanço da tecnologia, os jovens passaram a obter informações e conhecimentos com maior facilidade.…”

“…Especialistas apontam que essa geração possui um maior risco de contrair ISTs devido a diferentes aspectos como: desconhecimento sobre as formas de prevenção; descrença nessas doenças; sexualidade iniciada de forma prematura; multiplicidade de parceiros, comportamentos de risco, como o uso de bebidas alcoólicas e drogas, entre outros. Ademais, esses fatores também contribuem para outros problemas sociais nessa faixa etária (Romero et al, 2006;Camargo & Ferrari, 2009;Castro, Araújo, & Pitangui, 2017;Doubova, 2017;Genz et al, 2017;Kumar et al, 2018).…”

De acordo com a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) diariamente ocorrem cerca 1 milhão de novas infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (ISTs). Contudo, estas são consideradas um problema de saúde pública de âmbito mundial. No Brasil, casos de ISTs têm crescido, sobretudo entre os jovens. Sendo assim, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o nível de conhecimento de jovens universitários sobre as ISTs. O universo da pesquisa foi composto por 154 jovens entre 18 a 29 anos, os quais responderam a um questionário online e auto aplicado. Foram disponibilizados, uma cartilha e um folder, aos participantes com intuito de orientá-los sobre as ISTs. Na maioria das questões foi observado conhecimento geral dos participantes. No entanto, em relação às formas de transmissão indiretas, os participantes mostraram falta de conhecimento quando comparadas às formas de transmissão direta, as quais são mais divulgadas. Assim como também foi observado um obscurantismo quanto à algumas formas de manifestação clínica, e algumas ISTs. Além disso, uma parcela significativa dos participantes demonstrou constrangimento ao falar sobre o assunto. E apesar, da maioria afirmar estar segura para a vida sexual com o conhecimento prévio, grande parte dos participantes afirmou que gostaria de receber mais informações sobre as ISTs.
