RESUMO

PURPOSE: To assess the knowledge of students from public high schools in poor communities about HPV and Sexually Transmitted Infections and their attitude towards and prevention of such diseases. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional study with adolescents from public schools of São Paulo - Brazil. Participants were selected for an interview by a randomization program. A questionnaire about knowledge, attitudes, and preventive practices regarding STIs, including HPV, according to sex was administered and answers were analyzed by the Poisson regression model with robust variance. RESULTS: Median age of the 269 participants was 16 years. The majority was of African descent (68.8%, n = 185), most (74%, n = 199) were religious and the vast majority (90.7%, n = 244) lived with their parents. The Poisson regression revealed statistically significant sex-related differences regarding the following questions: "Do you know how it is prevented?" (PR = 1.12 [1.03‒1.23], p = 0.007); "Have you ever been concerned with HPV?" (PR = 1.10 [1.02‒1.19], p = 0.011); "Have you ever sought health care due to concerns about HPV?" (PR = 1.09 [1.04‒1.14], p < 0.001); "Do you know what a Pap Smear is?" (PR = 1.24 [1.13‒1.36], p < 0.001); "Do you know what the cervix is?" (PR = 1.23 [1.13‒1.34], p < 0.001); "Do you know what cervical cancer is?" (PR = 1.13 [1.04‒1.22], p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS: The present results show that adolescents from public schools in poor communities in São Paulo City know little about HPV and cervical cancer. Male adolescents know less than female adolescents and are less concerned with health care.
