Atenção à saúde dos parceiros sexuais de adolescentes com sífilis gestacional e seus filhos: uma revisão integrativa / Health care of sexual partners of adolescents with gestational syphilis and their children: an integrative review

Resumo A sífilis gestacional (SG) em adolescentes é um desafio para a saúde pública brasileira, com elevadas taxas de incidência. A testagem, diagnóstico e tratamento dos parceiros sexuais é indispensável para interromper a cadeia de transmissão, mas desde 2017 deixou de ser critério para o tratamento adequado da gestante. Buscamos analisar e sintetizar o conhecimento produzido sobre a atenção à saúde de parceiros sexuais de adolescentes com SG no Brasil. Realizamos uma revisão integrativa nas bases de dados BVS, SciELO e PubMed, selecionando artigos que abordavam SG e/ou sífilis congênita (SC) em adolescentes de 15 a 19 anos e que incluíam informações sobre os parceiros sexuais. Quarenta e um artigos foram analisados compreensivamente com auxílio do software WebQDA e classificados em duas categorias: (a) Abordagem dos parceiros sexuais no pré-natal, e (b) Papel dos parceiros sexuais no ciclo de transmissão da SG e da SC. Os estudos evidenciam que a abordagem do parceiro é deficitária, com ausência de dados sobre o perfil sociodemográfico e informações sobre testagem e tratamento. No âmbito da atenção primária à saúde não se encontram estudos que abordem fatores inerentes ao contexto de vulnerabilidade dos parceiros sexuais em relação ao enfrentamento da sífilis.

Abstract Gestational syphilis (GS) in adolescents is a challenge for Brazilian public health, with high incidence rates. Testing, diagnosis and treatment of sexual partners is essential to interrupt the chain of transmission, but since 2017 it is no longer a criterion for the proper treatment of pregnant women. We sought to analyze and synthesize the knowledge produced about the health care of sexual partners of adolescents with GS in Brazil. We carried out a systematic review in the BVS, SciELO and PubMed databases, selecting articles that addressed GS and/or congenital syphilis (CS) in adolescents aged 15 to 19 years and that included information about sexual partners. Forty-one articles were comprehensively analyzed using the WebQDA software and classified into two categories: a) Approach to sexual partners during prenatal care, and b) The role of sexual partners in the transmission cycle of GS and CS. The studies show that the partner's approach is deficient, with a lack of data on the sociodemographic profile and information on testing and treatment. In the context of Primary Health Care, there are no studies that address factors inherent to the context of vulnerability of sexual partners in relation to coping with syphilis.

Associação entre o contexto escolar e a ocorrência de múltiplos parceiros sexuais: um estudo transversal com análise multinível / Association between school context and occurrence of multiple sexual partners: cross-sectional study with multilevel analysis

Resumo O estudo investiga a associação entre o contexto escolar e a ocorrência de múltiplos parceiros entre adolescentes, considerando as variáveis individuais. Estudo transversal com análise multinível, realizado no período de fevereiro a junho de 2018 com estudantes de 14 a 19 anos. A variável desfecho (múltiplos parceiros sexuais) foi coletada com base no questionário Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). As variáveis do contexto escolar foram tempo na escola (escola regular vs escola integral/semi-integral) e índice de vulnerabilidade social (IVS) do bairro onde a escola está localizada. De 2.500 participantes, 1.044 foram analisados por serem sexualmente ativos. A maioria dos adolescentes (63,89%) teve dois ou mais parceiros. Estudantes de escola regular (mínimo de 4h diárias) tiveram mais chances (OR 1.47, IC 1.10-1.97) de terem múltiplos parceiros sexuais quando comparados àqueles de escola integral/semi-integral (mínimo de 7h diárias). Porém, não houve associação em relação ao IVS dos bairros das escolas (OR 1.18, IC 0.82-1.70). Maior tempo na escola esteve associado a menor chance de múltiplos parceiros sexuais, enquanto estudar em escolas localizadas em bairro de alta vulnerabilidade não esteve associado à ocorrência de múltiplos parceiros sexuais entre adolescentes.

Abstract The objective was to investigate the association between the school context and the occurrence of multiple partners among adolescents, considering individual variables (age, gender, Bolsa Família, LGB, early sexual initiation and use of alcohol or drugs in the last sex). Cross-sectional study with multilevel analysis carried out in 2018 with adolescent students from Olinda, Brazil. The variable (multiple partners) was collected based on the 'Youth Risk Behavior Survey' questionnaire. School context variables were time in school (regular school vs. full/semi-full school) and the Social Vulnerability Index of the school district. Of 2,500 participants, 1,044 were analyzed for being sexually active and most had two or more partners (63.89%). Regular school students were more likely (OR 1.47, CI 1.10-1.97) to have multiple sexual partners compared to those in full-day schools/half-day schools. However, no association was found in relation to the SVI of the schools' neighborhoods (OR 1.18, IC 0.82-1.70). More time spent at school was associated with fewer chances of multiple sexual partners, while studying in schools located in highly vulnerable neighborhoods was not associated with the occurrence of multiple sexual partners among adolescents.

Prevalencia y factores de riesgo de la neoplasia intraepitelial anal en pacientes con lesión intraepitelial cervical de alto grado / Prevalence and risk factors for anal intraepithelial neoplasia in patients with high- grade cervical intraepithelial lesion

Resumen OBJETIVO: Determinar la prevalencia de alteraciones en la citología anal, infección anal por virus del papiloma humano y en la neoplasia intraepitelial anal; además, explorar los factores de riesgo y los serotipos asociados en pacientes con lesión intraepitelial cervical de alto grado, a partir de la hipótesis de que esta población tiene mayor riesgo de lesiones precursoras o cáncer anal. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal, con componente analítico, efectuado en pacientes con diagnóstico de lesión intraepitelial cervical de alto grado (LIEAG) en dos instituciones de salud: una privada y otra pública de Bogotá, atendidas entre enero de 2017 y febrero de 2018. Se efectuó un muestreo no probabilístico, por conveniencia. RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 119 participantes, en 4 de ellas se evidenció, en la citología anal, el hallazgo de células anormales en el tejido que reviste la parte exterior del cuello uterino. Se encontraron 14 anoscopias anormales que dieron una prevalencia de neoplasia intraepitelial anal del 6.7%. Siete eran neoplasia intraepitelial anal de bajo grado y una de alto grado. Se encontró infección por VPH anal en 45 participantes (37.8%) y se detectaron genotipos de VPH-AR en 29 participantes (24.4%). Más de 3 compañeros sexuales, más de 3 hijos y tener menos de 21 años antes del primer embarazo tuvieron un valor de p < 0.05 que confiere mayor riesgo de infección por VPH anal. CONCLUSIÓN: Es importante establecer en Colombia protocolos para la detección de la neoplasia intraepitelial anal en grupos de alto riesgo, como las pacientes con neoplasia intraepitelial cervical o cáncer de cuello uterino, e incentivar el adiestramiento en la anoscopia de alta resolución en especialistas relacionados con el diagnóstico de patología anogenital.

Abstract OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of alterations in anal cytology, anal human papillomavirus infection, and anal intraepithelial neoplasia, and to explore the risk factors and associated serotypes in patients with high-grade cervical intraepithelial lesion, based on the hypothesis that this population is at higher risk for precancerous lesions or anal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study, with analytical component, performed in patients diagnosed with high-grade cervical intraepithelial lesion (HG-CIL) in two health institutions: one private and one public in Bogota, visited between January 2017 and February 2018. A non-probabilistic sampling was performed, by convenience, with a sample calculated in 124 patients. RESULTS: 119 participants were included, in 4 of them it was evidenced in the anal cytology, the finding of abnormal cells in the tissue lining the outside of the cervix. Fourteen abnormal anoscopies were found, giving a prevalence of anal intraepithelial neoplasia of 6.7%. Seven were low-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia and one was high-grade. Anal HPV infection was detected in 45 participants (37.8%) and HR-HPV genotypes were detected in 29 participants (24.4%). More than 3 sexual partners, more than 3 children and being younger than 21 years before first pregnancy had a p-value < 0.05 conferring an increased risk of anal HPV infection. CONCLUSION: It is important to establish protocols in Colombia for the detection of anal intraepithelial neoplasia in high-risk groups, such as patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or cervical cancer, and to promote training in high-resolution anoscopy in specialties related to the diagnosis of anogenital pathology.

Conducta infiel y adicción a redes sociales en adultos de la selva peruana / Unfaithful behavior and addiction to social networks in adults from the Peruvian jungle

La adicción a las redes sociales potencia las probabilidades de infidelidad de pareja. Esta investi-gación tuvo el objetivo de determinar la relación entre conducta infiel y adicción a redes sociales en adultos de las áreas comerciales de Tarapoto, Lamas, San José de Sisa, Moyobamba y Naran-jos, región de la Amazonía Peruana, durante el primer cuatrimestre de 2021. Así, se desarrolló un estudio con diseño no experimental y tipo de investigación correlacional, en una muestra de 318 individuos con edades entre 20 y 40 años, a los que se aplicó el Inventario Multidimensional de Infidelidad y el Cuestionario de Adicción a Redes Sociales. El 62,3% de los participantes perteneció al sexo masculino, el 57,5% tenía edades entre 30 y 59 años, el 66,7% convivía con sus parejas sin estar casados y el 51,6% se encontraban en la segunda etapa de la relación de pareja. Existieron diferencias significativas entre hombres y mujeres en cuanto a la conducta infiel (U=6387,500; p<0,000). En este contexto, se observó un predominio del nivel medio de la adición a las redes sociales en los participantes y del bajo en las dimensiones de la conducta de infidelidad, estableciéndose correlación estadísticamente significativa entre ambas variables.

Addiction to social networks increases the chances of partner infidelity. This research aimed to determine the relationship between unfaithful behavior and addiction to social networks in adults from the commercial areas of Tarapoto, Lamas, San José de Sisa, Moyobamba, and Naranjos, in the Peruvian Amazon region, during the first four-month period of 2021. Thus, a study with a non-experimental design and correlational research type was developed in a sample of 318 individuals between 20 and 40 years old. The Multidimensional Infidelity Inventory and the Social Networks Addiction Questionnaire were applied. 62.3% of the participants were male, 57.5% were between 30 and 59 years old, 66.7% lived with their partners without marria-ge, and 51.6% were in the second stage of the couple relationship. There were significant diffe-rences between men and women regarding unfaithful behavior (U=6387,500; p<0.000). In this context, a predominance of the medium level of addiction to social networks in the participants and the low level in the dimensions of infidelity behavior were observed, establishing a statisti-cally significant correlation between both variables.

Autoestima e intenções sexuais de usuários de aplicativos de relacionamento / Self-esteem and sexual intentions of users of relationship applications / Autoestima e intenciones sexuales de usuarios de aplicaciones de relación

O presente estudo visou detectar o nível de autoestima, conservadorismo e liberalismo sexual dos participantes, bem como coletar informações sobre o uso dos aplicativos de relacionamento no brasil. participaram da pesquisa 210 universitários matriculados em diferentes cursos de uma mesma instituição de ensino respondendo a um questionário presencial. obteve-se o resultado de que o nível de autoestima é semelhante entre os sexos, no entanto, os homens no geral pontuaram mais no quesito liberalismo sexual, sendo mais irrestritos sexualmente e propensos a se envolverem em sexo casual a partir dos aplicativos de relacionamento do que as mulheres que se mostraram mais conservadoras. o liberalismo sexual masculino foi associado ao sentimento de vazio quando relacionado às relações virtuais. conclui-se que o assunto pode ter relação com políticas de prevenção de doenças sexualmente transmissíveis.(AU)

The present study aimed to detect the self-esteem level, conservatism and sexual liberalism of the participants, also to collect information about the use of relationship applications in brazil. 210 university students, enrolled in different courses of the same teaching institution, participated in the research, responding a face-to-face questionnaire. the result was that the level of self-esteem is similar between the genders; however, men in general scored more on the question of sexual liberalism, being more sexually unrestrained and likely to engage in casual sex from the relationship applications than women who have shown themselves to be more conservative. male sexual liberalism was associated with the feeling of emptiness when related to virtual relationships. it is concluded that the subject may be related to policies for the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.(AU)

El presente estudio apunta a detectar el nivel de autoestima, conservadurismo y liberalismo sexual de los participantes y recoger informaciones sobre el uso de las aplicaciones de relación en brasil. participaron de la encuesta 210 universitarios matriculados en diferentes cursos de una misma institución de enseñanza respondiendo a un cuestionario presencial. se obtuvo el resultado acorde al que propone que el nivel de autoestima es similar entre los sexos, sin embargo, los hombres en general puntualizaron más en el aspecto liberalismo sexual, siendo más irrestrictos sexualmente y propensos a involucrarse en el sexo casual a partir de las aplicaciones de relación que las mujeres que se mostraron más conservadoras. El liberalismo sexual masculino se asoció al sentimiento de vacío cuando se relacionó con las relaciones virtuales. Se concluye que por ser más liberales sexualmente, los hombres son más propensos a contraer una enfermedad de transmisión sexual.(AU)

Fatores associados ao uso inconsistente de preservativo com parceiros comerciais entre homens que fazem sexo com homens no Brasil / Factors associated with inconsistent condom use among men who have sex with men in Brazil and their commercial sexual partners / Factores asociados al uso inconsistente del preservativo con las parejas comerciales entre los hombres que tienen sexo con hombres en Brasil

O objetivo foi analisar os fatores associados ao uso inconsistente de preservativo com parceiros comerciais entre homens que fazem sexo com homens (HSH) no Brasil. Foi feito um estudo transversal, com HSH adultos, recrutados por meio da técnica respondent-driven sampling (RDS), em 12 capitais brasileiras, em 2016. Os HSH responderam a um questionário sociocomportamental, que incluía questões sobre o comportamento sexual. O uso inconsistente de preservativo com parceiros comerciais foi mensurado por meio das relações sexuais anais insertivas e receptivas, ocorridas nos últimos seis meses e na última relação sexual. A associação entre as variáveis independentes e o uso inconsistente de preservativo foi mensurada utilizando o modelo de regressão de Poisson com variância robusta, com estimação de razões de prevalência ajustadas (RPa). Foram analisados dados de 461 HSH. A prevalência de uso inconsistente de preservativo com parceiros comerciais foi de 26% (IC95%: 19,0-34,3, n = 123). Pertencer às classes econômicas mais baixas (D/E), ter médio ou baixo conhecimento sobre HIV, ter praticado sexo anal insertivo e receptivo e nunca ter realizado teste para HIV na vida são fatores que estiveram associados ao uso inconsistente de preservativo com parceiros comerciais. As variáveis associadas ao uso inconsistente indicaram que o sexo comercial está sendo praticado em um contexto de maior vulnerabilidade à infecção pelo HIV. Nesse sentido, são necessárias intervenções biomédicas e comportamentais, com foco no acesso e na utilização de estratégias de prevenção, aliadas a políticas públicas para a redução de desigualdades socioeconômicas entre HSH que praticam sexo comercial.

We aimed to analyze the factors associated with inconsistent condom use among men who have sex with men (MSM) and their commercial sexual partners in Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study with adult MSM who were recruited via respondent-driven sampling (RDS) in 12 Brazilian capitals in 2016. MSM answered a sociobehavioral questionnaire which included questions on their sexual behavior. The inconsistent use of condoms with their clientele was measured via insertive and receptive anal sex in the six months prior to our research and in their last sexual intercourse. The association between independent variables and the inconsistent use of condoms was measured via a Poisson regression model with robust variance and estimation of adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR). Data from 461 MSM were analyzed. We found a 26% prevalence of inconsistent condom use with their clientele (95%CI: 19.0-34.3, n = 123). Belonging to the lowest economic classes (D/E), having medium or low knowledge about HIV, having practiced insertive and receptive anal sex, and having never tested for HIV throughout their lives were associated with inconsistent use of condoms with their clientele. The variables associated with inconsistent use indicated that commercial sex is practiced in a context of greater vulnerability to HIV infection, referring to the need for biomedical and behavioral interventions which focus on access to and use of prevention strategies together with public policies to reduce socioeconomic inequalities among MSM who practice commercial sexual.

Pertenecer a las clases económicas más bajas (D/E), tener un conocimiento medio o bajo sobre el VIH, haber practicado sexo anal tanto insertivo como receptivo y no haberse sometido nunca a la prueba del VIH en su vida se asociaron con el uso inconsistente del preservativo con las parejas comerciales. Las variables asociadas al uso inconsistente indicaron que el sexo comercial se está practicando en un contexto de mayor vulnerabilidad a la infección por el VIH, refiriendo la necesidad de intervenciones biomédicas y conductuales, con un enfoque en el acceso y uso de estrategias de prevención, junto con políticas públicas para reducir las desigualdades socioeconómicas entre los HSH que practican el sexo comercial.

Young women born with HIV: communication of seropositivity to partners / Young women born with HIV: communication of seropositivity to partners

RESUMO Objetivou-se compreender os aspectos envolvidos na comunicação da própria condição clínica aos parceiros por mulheres jovens que nasceram com HIV. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, desenvolvida em Serviço de Assistência Especializada ao HIV na região sul do Brasil com dez jovens que nasceram com HIV, sendo empregada a entrevista individual, de junho de 2017 a março de 2018. Utilizou-se a análise psicossocial ancorada no Quadro da Vulnerabilidade e dos Direitos Humanos. Evidenciaramse dois grupos: o primeiro, composto por jovens que optaram por comunicar sua condição clínica ao parceiro no início das relações afetivas; e o segundo, com as jovens que postergaram tal comunicação. Todas vivenciaram receios e medos da reação do parceiro, pensaram ou adotaram algumas estratégias para a comunicação e relataram situações de menor implicação nas condutas preventivas ao HIV pelos casais/parceiros. Conclui-se que são essenciais práticas de cuidado que dialoguem com as jovens sobre as dificuldades singulares em seus contextos intersubjetivos, atravessados por questões sociais estruturais a fim de apoiá-las na comunicação sobre a soropositividade aos parceiros em tempo mais oportuno possível, na adoção de estratégias preventivas e no acesso aos recursos que protejam a saúde sexual e reprodutiva delas e dos parceiros.

ABSTRACT The objective was to understand the aspects involved in the communication of their own clinical condition to their partners by young women born with HIV. This is qualitative research, developed in a Specialized HIV Care Service in the southern region of Brazil with ten young people who were born with HIV, using the individual interview, from June 2017 to March 2018. An anchored psychosocial analysis was used within the Framework of Vulnerability and Human Rights. Two groups emerged: the first composed of young women who chose to communicate with their partners at the beginning of affective relationships; and the second, with the young women who postponed such communication. All of them experienced apprehensions and fears regarding the partner's reaction, thought about or adopted some strategies for communication, and reported situations of lesser involvement in HIV prevention behaviors by couples/partners. Care practices that dialogue with young women about the unique difficulties in their intersubjective contexts, crossed by structural social issues, are essential in order to support them in communicating their HIV status to their partners in as soon as possible, in adopting preventive strategies, and in accessing resources that protect their and their partners' sexual and reproductive health.

HIV serodiscordant sexual partners: social representations of health care professionals / Parejas sexuales serodiferentes cuanto al VIH: representaciones sociales de los profesionales de servicios de salud / Parceiros sexuais sorodiferentes quanto ao HIV: representações sociais dos profissionais de serviços de saúde

ABSTRACT Objectives: to understand the structure of the social representations of health professionals from HIV/AIDS Specialized Care Services about HIV-positive partners. Methods: this is a qualitative study, based on the structural aspect of Social Representations, developed in specialized services of the metropolitan area of a state in the Northeast Region. Fifty-one professionals were interviewed using the technique of free association of words, processed by the software IRaMuTeQ, by means of prototypical and similarity analysis. Results: the central nucleus was constituted by the terms "partnership", "love" and "fear", showing appreciation of meanings inherent to their beliefs, values and experiences that bring possibilities of reflections for health practices. Final Considerations: the findings reinforce the impacts generated in the different segments of the lives of people living with HIV and in their emotional bonds. This highlights the need for the implementation of care strategies contemplating the biopsychosocial care model rather than the biological model.

RESUMEN Objetivos: aprender estructura de representaciones sociales de personal de salud de Servicios de Asistencia Especializada VIH/SIDA sobre parejas que viven en serodiferencia cuanto al VIH. Métodos: estudio cualitativo, fundamentado en la vertiente estructural de Representaciones Sociales, desarrollado en servicios especializados de la región metropolitana de un estado del Nordeste. Entrevistados 51 profesionales con aplicación de técnica de asociación libre de palabras, procesadas por software IRaMuTeQ, mediante análisis prototípico y de similitud. Resultados: el núcleo central constituido por los términos "compañerismo", "amor" y "miedo", evidenciando valorización de sentidos inherentes a sus creencias, valores y experiencias que traen posibilidades de reflexiones para las prácticas de salud. Consideraciones Finales: hallados refuerzan los impactos generados en los diferentes segmentos de la vida de las personas que viven con VIH y en sus vínculos afectivos. Eso señala la necesidad de implementación de estrategias asistenciales contemplando el modelo de cuidado biopsicosocial en detrimento del modelo biológico.

RESUMO Objetivos: apreender a estrutura das representações sociais de profissionais de saúde dos Serviços de Assistência Especializada HIV/aids sobre os parceiros que vivem em sorodiferença quanto ao HIV.

Resultados: o núcleo central foi constituído pelos termos "parceria", "amor" e "medo", evidenciando valorização de sentidos inerentes às suas crenças, valores e experiências que trazem possibilidades de reflexões para as práticas de saúde. Considerações Finais: os achados reforçam os impactos gerados nos diferentes segmentos da vida das pessoas que vivem com o HIV e em seus vínculos afetivos. Isso ressalta a necessidade da implementação de estratégias assistenciais contemplando o modelo de cuidado biopsicossocial em detrimento do modelo biológico.

Missed opportunities in treating pregnant women's sexual partners with syphilis: a systematic review / Oportunidades perdidas no tratamento de parceiros sexuais de gestantes com sífilis: uma revisão sistemática

Abstract Objectives: to compile studies in the literature that deal with missed opportunities related in treating pregnant women's partners with syphilis Methods: this is a systematic review from SciELO, PUBMED, Lilacs and BVS databases, using articles published between 2008 and 2018. The research was carried out between April and August 2019 and followed PRISMA guideline recommendation Results: 56,686 titles were identified and 53 were extracted in which addressed aspects related intreating pregnant women's partners with syphilis. Most studies were National, representing 60.7% of the researched articles. 51% of them used the Sistemas de Informação de Agravos Notificados (SINAN) (Notified Diseases Information System) as a database, followed by the use of Questionnaires / Interviews (33.9%) and consulted patients' files (15.1%). The factors most associated with the non-treatment of the pregnant women's partners with syphilis were: structuring /quality in the services from the aspect related to failures in prenatal care, characteristics of pregnant women that interfere in their treatment and aspects related to the cultural particularities that involvemen's healthcare. Conclusion: in all continents, the main aspect related to failures in the treatment of the partners/pregnant women with syphilis is associated with low quality in prenatal care.

Os fatores mais associados ao não tratamento dos parceiros de gestantes com sífilis foram: estruturação/qualidade dos serviços sob o aspecto relacionado a falhas na assistência prénatal, características das gestantes que interferem no tratamento dos mesmos e aos aspectos ligados as particularidades culturais que envolvem a assistência à saúde do homem. Conclusão: em todos os continentes o principal aspecto relacionado às falhas no tratamento dos parceiros/ gestantes com sífilis esteve associado a baixa qualidade da assistência pré-natal

Factores asociados a Chlamydia trachomatis en mujeres con vaginitis atendidas en atención primaria en salud / Factors associated with Chlamydia trachomatis in women with vaginitis attending in primary health care

INTRODUCCIÓN: Chlamydia trachomatis es reconocida como el agente causal de una de las infecciones de transmisión sexual (ITS) más común y curable. En mujeres, puede ser gatillante de enfermedad inflamatoria pélvica, un factor de riesgo para infertilidad o adquisición de otras ITS. OBJETIVO: Determinar C. trachomatis en mujeres con diagnóstico clínico de vaginitis asociando factores sociodemográficos, sexuales, clínicos y microbiota vaginal. PACIENTES Y MÉTODOS: Participaron 121 mujeres voluntarias > 18 años, con diagnóstico clínico de vaginitis y descarga vaginal anormal, atendidas en servicios de atención primaria en salud (APS) en Temuco-Chile. Se tomó muestra de flujo vaginal, determinándose C. trachomatis por una reacción de polimerasa en cadena convencional y microbiota vaginal por tinción de Gram. Se colectaron datos clínicos, sociodemográficos y sexuales mediante encuesta. RESULTADOS: Rango de edad 18-61 años. La frecuencia de C. trachomatis fue 14,9%. Se asoció C. trachomatis a mayor número de parejas sexuales en los últimos 5 años (p = 0,001), relaciones sexuales oral más anal (p = 0,055) y juguetes sexuales (p = 0,027). Asociación no significativa hubo con vaginosis bacteriana 31,2% (p = 0,091) e inicio de la actividad sexual < 18 años 20,6% (p = 0,07). CONCLUSIONES: Sería beneficioso incorporar en la semiología ginecológica de las mujeres atendidas en servicios de APS, los factores encontrados como favorecedores de infección por C. trachomatis, pues ello podría ayudar al manejo de esta ITS.

BACKGROUND: Chlamydia trachomatis is recognized as the causative agent of one of the most common and curable sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In women, it can be a trigger for pelvic inflammatory disease, a risk factor for infertility or acquisition of other STIs. AIM: To determine CT in women with vaginitis and associate it with sociodemographic, sexual, clinical, and vaginal microbiota factors. Methods: 121 female volunteers > 18 years of age, with a clinical diagnosis of vaginitis and abnormal vaginal discharge, attending in primary health care services (PHC) in Temuco-Chile were recluted. A vaginal discharge sample was taken, determining C. trachomatis by polymerase chain reaction and vaginal microbiota by Gram stain. Clinical, sociodemographic and sexual data were collected by survey. RESULTS: Age range was 18-61 years. The frequency of C. trachomatis was 14.9%. C. trachomatis was associated with a higher number of sexual partners in the last 5 years (p = 0.001), oral plus anal sex (p = 0.055) and sex toys (p = 0.027); there was a non-significant association with bacterial vaginosis 31.2% (p = 0.091) and initiation of sexual activity < 18 years 20.6% (p = 0.07). CONCLUSIONS: It would be beneficial to incorporate in the gynecological semiology of the women attended in PHC services, the factors found to favor C. trachomatis infection, as this could help the management of this STI.

Syphilis among HIV serodiscordant partners associated with Human Papillomavirus Infection in a bisexual man / Sífilis entre parceiros sorodiscordantes para HIV associada à infecção por papilomavírus humano em um homem bissexual

Introduction: Syphilis and HIV infections are sexually transmitted infections whose diagnosis and treatment contribute toward preventing congenital transmission. Objective: To report a case of three sexually transmitted infections detected in a male partner during Couple Consultation and syphilis in the female partner during prenatal care. Case report: A 34-year-old black female G2P1 pregnant woman was referred to an outpatient clinic of sexually transmitted infections in Vitória, Brazil, reporting a 30-day evolution of painless papular lesions in the external genitalia, suggestive of condylomata lata. Nontreponemal tests were positive for syphilis and negative for HIV. The husband reported unprotected receptive anal intercourse and possessed anal condylomatous lesions and perianal condylomata lata. He was positive for both HIV and syphilis. Histopathological findings showed low-grade HPV lesions and the PCR test found 16, 39, and 53 HPV subtypes. Treatment with benzathine penicillin G was successful for both partners. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the need for Couple Consultation during pregnancy to identify and treat possible sexually transmitted infections.

Introdução: As infecções por sífilis e HIV são infecções sexualmente transmissíveis cujo diagnóstico e tratamento contribuem para a prevenção da transmissão congênita. Objetivo: Relatar um caso de três infecções sexualmente transmissíveis detectadas em um parceiro masculino durante a consulta do casal e sífilis na parceira durante o pré-natal. Relato de caso: Uma gestante, negra, G2P1, 34 anos, foi encaminhada a um ambulatório de infecções sexualmente transmissíveis em Vitória, Brasil, relatando uma evolução de 30 dias de lesões papulares indolores na genitália externa, sugestivas de condiloma lata. Os testes não treponêmicos foram positivos para sífilis e negativos para HIV. O marido relatou relação sexual anal receptiva desprotegida e possuía lesões condilomatosas anais e condiloma lata perianal. Ele testou positivo tanto para HIV quanto para sífilis. Os achados histopatológicos mostraram lesão de HPV de baixo grau e o teste de PCR encontrou subtipos de HPV 16, 39 e 53. O tratamento com penicilina benzatina G foi bem­sucedido em ambos os parceiros. Conclusão: Este estudo enfatiza a necessidade de consultas de casal durante a gravidez para identificar e tratar possíveis infecções sexualmente transmissíveis.

Estratégias de notificação de parceiros sexuais de pessoas com infecções sexualmente transmissíveis: ensaio clínico randomizado / Estrategias para reportar parejas sexuales de personas con enfermedades de transmisión sexual: ensayo clínico randomizado / Strategies for notifying sexual partners of people with sexually transmitted infections: a randomized clinical trial*

RESUMO Objetivo Comparar a efetividade da comunicação verbal e por cartão no comparecimento de parceiros sexuais de pessoas com infecções sexualmente transmissíveis com fatores associados ao seu êxito. Método Ensaio clínico, controlado, randomizado, cuja intervenção consistiu no oferecimento de um cartão de notificação para os pacientes-índices entregarem aos seus parceiros. Resultados A amostra foi de 189 pacientes-índices, 94 do grupo controle que convidaram verbalmente os parceiros sexuais para atendimento e 95 do grupo intervenção que levaram o cartão de notificação de parceiros como forma de convite para atendimento. Houve comparecimento de 52,6% dos parceiros convidados por cartão, e 43,6% dos convidados verbalmente, mas sem diferença estatística significativa (p=0,215). Os fatores associados ao não êxito no comparecimento de parceiros foram: não residir com o parceiro (p=0,0001), não ter parceiros fixos (p=0,0001), ter parceria casual (p=0,028) e usar preservativo com parceiro fixo (p=0,045). O tipo de infecção não influenciou a vinda do parceiro. Conclusão Face à ausência de maior efetividade na notificação por cartão, recomenda-se outro modelo de cartão contendo informações destinadas a parceiros para ser usado combinado a outros métodos.

ABSTRACT Objective To compare the effectiveness of verbal communication and communication by card in getting sexual partners of people with sexually transmitted infections to attend a health service and the factors associated with the success of these types of communication. Method Clinical, controlled, and randomized study, whose intervention was offering a reporting card for index patients to hand to their sexual partners. Results The sample was 189 index patients, 94 of whom were in the control group, and verbally invited their sexual partners to receive care, and 95 were allocated to the intervention group, and took their partner's reporting card to their partners as a way to invite them to receive care. The percentage of partners invited by card who came to the service was 52.6%, in contrast with 43.6% among partners who were invited verbally, but no significant statistical difference was found (p=0.215). The factors associated with failure to convince partners to come to the service were: not living with the partner (p=0.0001); not having a steady partner (p=0.0001); having casual partners (p=0.028); and using condoms with a steady partner (p=0.045). The infection type did not influence the studied partners' visits to the service. Conclusion Given the failure to achieve effectiveness when applying the reporting by card, the authors recommend another card model containing information for partners to be used in combination with other methods.

Inicio sexual en contexto de sexo casual y su asociación a comportamientos de riesgo en salud sexual y reproductiva en adolescents / Sexual initiation in the context of casual sex and its association with risk behaviors in sexual and reproductive health in adolescents

RESUMEN Antecedentes: Los adolescentes que se comprometen en actividad sexual en un contexto de sexo casual, pueden desarrollar patrones de actividad sexual que los llevarán a resultados en salud negativos tales como embarazo no planificado, infecciones de transmisión sexual, y mayor exposición a múltiples parejas sexuales. Objetivo: Analizar la asociación entre inicio sexual en contexto de sexo casual y comportamientos de riesgo en la salud sexual y reproductiva en adolescentes. Método: Estudio transversal y analítico en una población adolescente de ambos sexos. Se compararon adolescentes que iniciaron actividad sexual en un contexto de relaciones románticas y aquellos que lo hicieron en un contexto de sexo casual. Se analizó la asociación entre edad inicio relaciones sexuales, número de parejas sexuales, uso de método anticonceptivo y variables personales y familiares seleccionadas. Resultados: Se entrevistaron 3.565 adolescentes que habían iniciado relaciones sexuales. Las variables personales y familiares asociadas al inicio sexual en un contexto de sexo casual fueron: tener escolaridad básica, menor mediana de notas, antecedente de repitencia, proyectos académicos futuro solo terminar enseñanza media o secundaria, malas relaciones familiares, y disfunción familiar. Los comportamientos de riesgo en salud sexual en adolescentes de ambos sexos, que iniciaron actividad sexual en un contexto de relación de sexo casual fueron: inicio sexual más temprano, no uso de métodos anticonceptivos y mayor número de parejas sexuales. Conclusión: El inicio de la actividad sexual en un contexto de sexo casual expone a los adolescentes a mayores riesgos en sus comportamientos en su salud sexual y reproductiva cuando se comparan con aquellos que inician actividad sexual en un contexto más romantico.

ABSTRACT Background: Adolescents who engage in sexual activity in a non-romantic relationship may develop patterns of sexual activity that lead to negative health outcomes such as unplanned pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and increased exposure to multiple sexual partners. Objective: To analyze the association between sexual initiation in the context of non-romantic relationship and risk behaviors in sexual and reproductive health in adolescents. Method: Cross-sectional and analytical study in a teenage population of both sexes. We compared adolescents who initiated sexual activity in a context of romantic relationships and those who did it in a non-romantic context. The association between age at sexual initiation, number of sexual partners, use of contraceptive method and selected personal and family variables was analyzed. Results: 3,565 adolescents who had initiated sexual intercourse were interviewed. The personal and family variables associated with sexual initiation in a non-romantic context are: having a basic schooling, a lower grade point average and repeating background, and academic projects finishing secondary or high school, bad family relationships, and family dysfunction. The risk behaviors in sexual health in adolescents of both sexes who initiated sexual activity in a context of non-romantic relationship were: sexual debut earlier, no use of contraceptive methods and greater number of sexual partners. Conclusion: The beginning of sexual activity in a non-romantic context exposes adolescents to risk behaviors in their sexual and reproductive health.

Association between sexual sensation seeking and sexual risk behaviors among men who have sex with men in Guangzhou / 中华疾病控制杂志

Objective To evaluate the association between sexual sensation seeking (SSS) and sexual risk behaviors among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Guangzhou. Methods MSM aged 18 and over were recruited in Zhitong Charity from June 2017 to April 2018. Data on socio-demographic characteristics, sexual behaviors and SSS were collected using an electronic questionnaire. Logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the association between SSS and sexual risk behaviors. Results A total of 500 MSM were included in the current study. The mean age of the participants was (27.77±5.96) years old. The multiple logistic regression analyses showed that MSM with high SSS scores were more likely to engage in multiple sexual partners (OR=2.05, 95% CI: 1.40-2.30,P<0.001), one-night stand (OR=2.11, 95% CI: 1.44-3.09,P<0.001), and unprotected anal intercourse (OR=1.70, 95% CI: 1.16-2.50,P=0.007) than those with low SSS scores. Conclusions High SSS is associated with an increased risk of sexual risk behavior among MSM in Guangzhou. The behavior intervention strategy should be tailored for MSM with high SSS to improve the effectiveness to reduce sexual risk behaviors.

Related factors on sexual partners regarding receipt of HIV test among HIV positive men who have sex with men in Zhejiang province / 中华流行病学杂志

Objective@#To understand the situation and influencing factors related to the promotion of HIV testing program among sex partners in newly diagnosed HIV positive MSM in Zhejiang province during 2015 to 2017.@*Methods@#Newly diagnosed HIV positive MSM in Zhejiang province from 2015 to 2017 were collected and provided four rounds of testing services to their sexual partners so as to study the consequences. Chi-square test was conducted to compare the difference between groups while multivariate logistic regression was conducted to analyze the related influencing factors.@*Results@#A total of 6 269 HIV positive MSM were provided with four rounds of testing services to their sexual partners. 1 925 HIV positive MSM (30.7%, 1 925/6 269) were successfully persuaded in mobilizing their sexual partners to participate in the HIV testing services. However, 4 344 HIV positive MSM (69.3%, 4 344/6 269) refused to do so. A total of 2 126 sexual partners received HIV testing and the HIV positive rates of those sexual partners appeared as 13.0% (277/2 126, 95%CI:11.6%-14.5%) and 78.7% (218/277, 95%CI: 73.8%-83.6%). Results from the multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that factors as: HIV positive MSM that participated in the study in 2016 (compared with participated in the study in 2015, OR=1.581, 95%CI: 1.370-1.823), in 2017 (compared with participated in the study in 2015, OR=1.394, 95%CI: 1.208-1.608), living in the reporting city (compared with lived outside the reporting city, OR=1.518, 95%CI: 1.320-1.745), being married (compared with unmarried/divorced/widowed, OR=4.449, 95%CI: 3.837-5.160), having education level of junior high school or below (compared with education level of senior high school or above, OR=1.203, 95%CI: 1.058-1.367), numbers of homosexual partners >5, (compared with numbers of homosexual partner from past between 1-5, OR=1.236, 95%CI: 1.095-1.395), active detection (compared with passive detection, OR=1.340, 95%CI: 1.193-1.506) were more likely to relate to the successful persuasion on their sexual partners to receive the HIV testing. There was no statistical difference noticed between HIV-infected homosexual partners and their corresponding HIV positive MSM, in terms of socio-demographic situations.@*Conclusions@#HIV positive MSM should promote their sexual partners to receive HIV testing. This seemed an important role in expanding the HIV testing in this population. However, the program needs to be further improved and included in daily work, focusing on those partners with similar social and demographic characteristics with those infected MSM.

Concurrence and selection of sexual partners as predictors of condom use among Mexican indigenous migrant workers / Concurrencia y selección de parejas sexuales como predictores del uso de condón en trabajadores migrantes indígenas mexicanos

ABSTRACT Objective To identify if the selection of mixed sexual partners and the existence of concurrent partners are predictors of condom use in indigenous migrant agricultural workers from Colima, Mexico. Methods Analytical cross-sectional study using an egocentric sexual network approach. Community interviewers applied a structured questionnaire to 192 indigenous migrant workers in a sugarcane agro-industrial context. Data were analyzed with binary logistic regression; odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI 95%) were estimated. Results In the logistic regression model, adjusted odds (OR; 95% CI) of steady condom use were lower within partnerships of the same indigenous ethnicity compared to other partnerships (0.30; 0.17-0.53), partnerships that were concurrent to other partnerships (0.27; 0.15-0.50), and partnerships that used illegal drugs during sex to other partnerships (0.23; 0.11-0.49). Those variables were actually associated with increased risk of unprotected sex (occasionally or never using condoms), and therefore exposures were unprotected. Conclusion Sexual partners of the same ethnicity, concurrent partnerships and partnerships that use illegal drugs favor the low frequency of constant condom use and, in turn, the vulnerability to STIs and HIV transmission in indigenous migrant agricultural workers.(AU)

RESUMEN Objetivo Identificar si la selección de parejas sexuales mixtas y la existencia de parejas concurrentes son predictores del uso de condón en trabajadores agrícolas migrantes indígenas de Colima, México. Métodos Estudio transversal analítico bajo un enfoque egocéntrico de redes de parejas sexuales. Entrevistadores comunitarios aplicaron un cuestionario estructurado a 192 trabajadores migrantes indígenas de un contexto agroindustrial cañero. Los datos se analizaron mediante regresión logística binaria; se calcularon razones de momios (RM) e intervalos de confianza (IC) de 95%. Resultados En el modelo de regresión de predictores del uso constante de condón, las RM ajustadas (RM; IC 95%) fueron: menores en las parejas sexuales de la misma etnicidad que en las otras parejas (0.30; 0.17-0.53), menores en las parejas concurrentes que en las no concurrentes (0.27; 0.15-0.50); y menores en las parejas usuarias de drogas ilegales que en las no usuarias (0.23; 0.11-0.49). El sentido predictor de estas variables se asoció a un mayor riesgo de sexo no protegido (algunas veces o nunca usaron condón). Conclusión Las parejas sexuales de la misma etnicidad, las parejas concurrentes y las parejas que usan drogas ilegales favorecen una baja frecuencia de uso constante del condón y con ello la vulnerabilidad a la transmisión de ITS y VIH en los trabajadores agrícolas migrantes indígenas.(AU)
