“…It suggests that in the UK, SRE should be taught as a statutory part of the national curriculum. We agree with Gaydos1 that special education tools such as effective SRE are needed to tackle the epidemic of STIs. In Holland, SRE starts at the age of five and the country has the lowest teenage pregnancy rate in Europe 4.…”

“…Gaydos1 highlights the barriers to discussing sexual health issues openly and teenagers' lack of awareness of the high prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and potential adverse reproductive sequelae. Addressing these barriers is one solution to the ‘hidden epidemic’ of STIs.…”

“…Nevertheless, the results remain relevant as the debate as to best approaches to STI management continue. 17 This study is among women attending a family planning clinic; not all of these women may use STI screening services, although the majority (81%) reported having had a speculum exam in the past. Finally, this clinic is an urban, family planning clinic primarily serving Latina women of low socioeconomic status.…”

Women's preferences for testing and management of sexually transmitted infections among low-income New York City family planning clients

et al. 2013

High prevalence of chlamydia in the USA persists despite efforts to annually screen women under the age of 26. Tailoring sexually transmitted infection (STI) services to client preferences may strengthen existing programmes. We report women's preferences for STI services from a family planning clinic in New York City serving low-income women. Seventy-eight percent (995/1275) of eligible women participated, with a mean age of 26 (SD±7). Ninety-one percent self-identified as Latina. Nineteen percent reported a past STI. Women preferred self-collection (65%) for testing to a speculum exam (20%); 15% had no preference. Women with a previous STI were more likely to prefer a pelvic exam to women with no previous STI (50% versus 32%, P < 0.01). Nearly all women (94%) preferred informing a sex partner about a positive STI test themselves, but 88% were willing to bring expedited partner therapy to a partner. Women were more likely to prefer third party partner notification if their last partner was casual rather than a main partner (14% versus 3%, respectively, P < 0.01). Forty-four percent of participants worried about physical violence after partner notification. Self-collecting specimens for screening was widely acceptable. Partner notification strategies should be based on understanding partnership status, including fears of violence.

“…Para Gaydos, as áreas fundamentais para compreender e verificar sua relação com as DST e o seu controle incluem: epidemiologia, comportamento, diagnóstico, tratamento, vacinação, educação dos pacientes e educação de prestadores de serviços 4 . Destaca-se, portanto, a importância de estudos epidemiológicos que analisem os casos de DST atendidos pela abordagem sindrômica, considerando que ao longo dos anos ocorreram mudanças significativas nas práticas sexuais e no perfil da população acometida, provocando incremento no número de casos.…”

Resumo Objetivou-se analisar os casos de doenças sexualmente transmissíveis (DST) atendidos em uma unidade primária de saúde em Fortaleza, Ceará, estudo retrospectivo que analisou 5.590 prontuários de casos de DST atendidos nos anos de 1999 a 2009. Os dados foram coletados de março a junho de 2010 e analisados pelo SPSS 18.0. Pessoas jovens com boa escolaridade e que tiveram múltiplos parceiros sexuais nos últimos três meses apresentaram mais úlcera e verruga. Encontrou-se associação entre apresentar verruga e ter resultado reagente para o HIV e apresentar úlcera e ter resultado reagente de VDRL. Quando analisados por sexo, as mulheres apresentaram mais úlcera, verruga, mais de uma síndrome genital no momento da consulta e aceitaram mais realizar os exames de VDRL e HIV. Já os homens tiveram mais resultado reagente para o HIV. Homens e mulheres com DST apresentaram especificidades comportamentais que os tornam mais vulneráveis ao HIV e sífilis.
