La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) estima que 1 de cada 20 personas en el mundo padece una Infección de Transmisión Sexual (ITS) al año.La tasa de ITS en Bolivia en el año 2000 fue de 56.000 casos (14 por 1000 habitantes en edad fértil) en los servicios públicos de salud .Las infecciones de transmisión sexual se encuentran entre las causas de morbimortalidad materna y perinatal más importantes en gestantes. Las complicaciones graves de las infecciones de transmisión sexual provocan embarazo ectópico, enfermedad pélvica inflamatoria, durante el embarazo; parto prétermino, aborto espontáneo, muerte fetal e infecciones congénitas.Por estas razones, se realizó una investigacion retrospectiva, transversal y descriptiva, con una muestra de 130 gestantes que corresponden al último trimestre de 2010.Los resultados reflejan que las ITS más frecuentes fueron la sífilis, condiloma acuminado, VIH-Sida, candidiasis y vaginosis bacteriana, también se encontraron lesiones ginecológicas asociadas a ITS como ser la colpitis, colpocervicitis, cervicitis y vulvovaginitis, lo que refleja el caracter crónico de las ITS.Las complicaciones más frecuentes son las fetoneonatales como ser el óbito fetal, parto pretérmino, bajo peso al nacer, sífilis congénita y sospecha del VIH, las madres presentaron complicaciones en menor frecuencia, destacando la ruptura prematura de membrana, abortos, abortos habituales e infecciones pelvicas inflamatorias en porcentajes bajos

Este artículo muestra ideas clave para incluir en los contenidos de los programas de educación para la salud sobre afectividad y sexualidad, normalmente dirigidos a adolescentes, pero que también tienen una acogida excelente entre los adultos. Actualmente se plantea una reflexión importante más allá de la idea clásica de educar para evitar embarazos no deseados y enfermedades de transmisión sexual: el sexo es una fuerza positiva y enriquecedora de la vida humana que contribuye a nuestro proceso de crecimiento personal como seres completos (cuerpo + energía + emociones + mente + alma). Es la salud sexual desde el punto de vista holístico (total), la salud como máximo desarrollo de la persona (AU)

The present situation in sexually transmitted diseases (STD) is regarded as unfavorable. Differing tendencies in morbidity levels for various nosological forms have been established. The continuing growth of syphilis morbidity among children is considered to be specially alarming, and an increase in the number of cases of congenital syphilis is noted. The reasons of the growth of STD morbidity have not only medical, but mainly socio-economical, psychological, ethical and moral character. The main trends in the improvement of epidemiological surveillance on STD have been determined.

Sexually transmitted diseases are a major health problem for the 1990s. The etiology of gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, trichomonas, and bacterial vaginitis are presented, along with their treatment, pregnancy-related factors, intrapartum and neonatal factors, and follow-up. The incidence of sexually transmitted diseases has increased, and health care professionals must teach not only about disease impact but also about lifestyle and behavioral changes.
