| dc.description.abstract1 | Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are among the most common public health problems
worldwide, especially among adolescents and young adults, who account for almost 50% of
all STI patients. Studies on the subject in the western Amazon are limited. This study aimed
to evaluate the prevalence of STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, herpes simplex
virus, syphilis, human immunodeficiency virus [HIV], hepatitis B, and hepatitis C) in adolescents treated at a family planning outpatient clinic in the western Amazon: Porto Velho, Rondônia, Brazil. A total of 196 adolescents were enrolled. During the gynecological
examination, endocervical samples were collected to test for four STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, and herpes simplex virus), and blood samples were collected for the
detection of HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B and C. The mean age was 17.3 ± 1.5 years, the
age at sexarche was 14.4 ± 1.6 years, and 54.6% of participants had their first sexual intercourse at 14 years or younger. Only 1.0% of the adolescents used condoms in all sexual
relations, and 19.9% had casual partner(s) in the last year. In the evaluation of prevalence,
we found that 32% of the adolescents had at least one STI, with the most prevalent being
chlamydia (23%), followed by trichomoniasis (5.6%), herpes simplex (4.6%), and gonorrhea
(3.1%). No positive cases of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV were detected, but 1% of the
adolescents tested positive for syphilis. These indicators will support more effective health
care strategies aimed at improving the quality of life of populations in this region of the western Amazon. In conclusion, our findings demonstrated high rates of STIs in the studied
patients, reinforcing the need to expand epidemiological studies to implement more appropriate public policies and intervention strategies to prevent STIs in adolescents and other
vulnerable populations in the western Amazon. | pt_BR |
