de Peder LD, da Silva CM, Nascimento BL, et al. - To confirm the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STI) as well as its related predictors for men and women aged 13–24 years in an interior county of southern Brazil, researchers analyzed medical records of a cross section of users of a public health services center in this retrospective analysis. This study included 1,703 adolescents and young adults, stratified by age and gender, admitted between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2017. Findings revealed that STI prevailed significantly in young people in public health service. Being female, having multiple partners in the last year, and not using or irregular use of prophyplactics were all identified as predictors related to STI in these patients. These predictors verified that there is a need to execute more aggressive strategies to avert the occurrence of STI in particular groups with higher disease risk and reducing expenses and damages induced by the infections.
