de Peder LD, da Silva CM, Nascimento BL, et al. - Researchers investigated the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STI) among individuals 13-24 years of age in an interior county of southern Brazil via reviewing the medical records of a cross-section of users of a public health services center. Further, they examined its associated predictors for male and female individuals. A total of 3,448 patients attended the public health services center between April 1, 2012, and March 31, 2017. Of these, 1,703 (49.39%) were 13-24 years of age; at least 1 STI was reported in 86.56% of those 19-24 years. Among men and women, respectively, the prevalence of STI was 35.40% and 47.67% for condylomata, 8.46% and 7.00% for herpes, 26.35% and 18.80% for syphilis, and 20.06% and 6.27% for urethral discharge syndrome. Findings thereby suggest that STI is significantly prevalent among young people in public health service. Being female, having multiple partners in the last year, and not using or irregularly using prophylactics were identified as the predictors linked with STI in these patients. Per these predictors, implementation of more aggressive strategies is required to prevent the occurrence of STI in specific populations with higher disease risk, thereby reducing costs and damage caused by the infections.
