“…In relation to the sociodemographic characteristics of the sample analyzed, it is noted that the mean age of individuals diagnosed with an STI was lower than in the case of those who did not have them. This result coincides with the publications in the scientific literature, considering the young population as one of the groups most exposed to STIs [ 22 , 23 , 24 ] along with other vulnerable groups such as gay men [ 5 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ], men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender people, injecting drug users, women, sex workers, and immigrants, especially irregular immigrants [ 18 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Likewise, in a recent study on HIV and other STI epidemiology, it is observed that in 2006 the higher number of cases of some STIs such as syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia trachomatis, and lymphogranuloma venereum occurred in young adults between 25–44 years old [ 34 ], the age range in which the mean age of persons positively diagnosed with STIs is found in our study.…”

The World Health Organization estimates that more than one million people acquire a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) every day, compromising quality of life, sexual and reproductive health, and the health of newborns and children. It is an objective of this study to identify the factors related to a Sexually Transmitted Infection diagnosis in the province of Granada (Spain), as well as those better predicting the risk of acquiring such infections. In this study, 678 cases were analyzed on a retrospective basis, which were treated at the Centre for Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Sexual Orientation in Granada, between 2000–2014. Descriptive statistics were applied, and by means of binary logistic regression, employing the forward stepwise-likelihood ratio, a predictive model was estimated for the risk of acquiring an STI. Sex, age, occupation, economic crisis period, drug use, number of days in which no condoms were used, number of sexual partners in the last month and in the last year, and number of subsequent visits and new subsequent episodes were associated with an STI diagnosis (p < 0.05). The risk of being diagnosed with an STI increased during the economic crisis period (OR: 1.88; 95%-CI: 1.28–2.76); during the economic crisis and if they were women (OR:2.35, 95%- CI: 1.24–4.44); and if they were women and immigrants (OR: 2.09; 95%- CI:1.22–3.57), while it decreased with age (OR: 0.97, 95%-CI: 0.95–0.98). Identification of the group comprised of immigrant women as an especially vulnerable group regarding the acquisition of an STI in our province reflects the need to incorporate the gender perspective into preventive strategies and STI primary health care.

“…MSM in this study reported a high probability of using drugs, suggesting that some MSM in Mexico use drugs for sexual encounters. With the advance in antiretroviral treatments for HIV infection, the perception of risk has changed and has produced an increase in sexual risk behaviors [ 43 , 44 ]. In our study, membership in Class 3 was associated with practices such as CAS behaviors and serosorting.…”

Men who have sex with men (MSM) are more likely to use drugs and other substances compared to their heterosexual peers. No studies have evaluated patterns of substance use among MSM adults in Mexico. We used latent class analysis (LCA) to identify MSM subgroups with specific substance use patterns and their associations with sexual behaviors. Methods: Data from 1850 adult MSM were collected at HIV clinics in Mexico City between September 2018 and December 2019. The structural equation modeling approach was used to estimate a LC model to identify patterns of substance use by self-report of substance use (i.e., cigarette smoking, alcohol, and drugs). To evaluate LC membership, we included HIV status, condomless anal sex (CAS), and serosorting, while controlling for demographic variables. Results: 30.3% were under the age of 22. Alcohol use in last 30 days (76.2%), binge drinking (29.2%), marijuana (29.4%), sex-drugs (23.9%), stimulants (13.7%), and depressants (6.3%). MSM reported engaging in CAS (55.9%) and serosorting (13.5%) behaviors, and 40% reported being HIV positive. LCA indicated three general categories of MSM substance users: Class 1 (49.0%), Class 2 (29.8%), and Class 3 (20.4%). Members of Class 3 were younger: 23–28 age years (aOR = 1.86) and 29–33 age years (aOR = 1.86), more educated: completed graduate studies (aOR = 1.60), had a high probability of polysubstance use and were more likely to engage in CAS and serosorting. Conclusions: Attempts to detect alcohol and problematic use of substances are needed for MSM followed by culturally competent approaches that address alcohol and drug use disorders.

“…El artículo se desarrolla en base a dos aproximaciones metodológicas complementarias. En el caso del SIDA, la base principal está constituida por el conjunto de investigaciones cualitativas que realizamos en CIMOP desde finales de los años 80 hasta la actualidad, complementada por el seguimiento y el análisis de las orientaciones discursivas acerca del VIH-SIDA de los medios de comunicación, escritos de la época en relación con los principales hitos del desarrollo de la epidemia en España (Conde, 1989(Conde, , 1997(Conde, , 2012. En el caso de la COVID-19, la base principal ha sido un seguimiento diario de varios medios de comunicación digitales de España (El País, La Vanguardia, El Confidencial, Publico y eldiario.…”

El artículo realiza una reflexión sobre algunas de las dimensiones de las construcciones sociales y mediático-políticas de dos epidemias contemporáneas, las del VIH-SIDA y la del SARS-CoV-2-COVID-19 a partir de un conjunto de investigaciones cualitativas sobre ambas epidemias en las que ha participado el autor, complementado por un análisis de los tratamientos mediáticos de ambas epidemias en los principales medios de comunicación escritos. En el artículo se comparan los contextos históricos de la emergencia de ambas epidemias, los conocimientos y desarrollos científicos desplegados ante cada una de ellas, así como las orientaciones dominantes de las respectivas construcciones mediáticas con el objeto de señalar el conjunto de marcos cognitivos construidos para tratar de dar sentido social a ambas epidemias que permiten enmarcar el conjunto de reacciones sociales que se han ido generando tanto ante el SIDA como ante la COVID-19. En el artículo se señalan algunas de las diferencias económicas, sociales, simbólicas y sanitarias más relevantes entre ambas epidemias y se finaliza por situar un posible horizonte de soluciones y orientaciones políticas en función de las experiencias vividas en relación con el doble eje de las relaciones sociales y de las relaciones con la naturaleza.
