    Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) in women remain a public health challenge due to high prevalence, difficulties to implement early diagnosis strategies and high rates of complications. OBJECTIVE: Identify the prevalence of STIs among users of a primary health care clinic in São Paulo. METHODS: Women, 18 to 40 years of age, were invited to self-collect vaginal specimens to be tested for Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Trichomonas vaginalis by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Women were also invited to answer a demographic and sexual history questionnaire, either on the computer or face-to-face. RESULTS: The prevalence of STIs obtained from the 781 women included in the study was: Chlamydia trachomatis: 8.4%, Neisseria gonorrhoeae: 1.9%, and Trichomonas vaginalis: 3.2%. Thirteen percent tested positive for at least one out of the three STIs. The variables associated independently with a higher risk of STIs were: age under 20-years-old, more than two lifetime sexual partners, and self-perception of STI risk. The use of condoms as a contraceptive method proved to be a protective factor. CONCLUSION: The high prevalence found among these women indicates the need for the implementation of STI screening strategies in primary care settings in Brazil.

    Acceptability of self-conducted home-based HIV testing among men who have sex with men in Brazil: data from an on-line survey

    Abstract: A epidemia de HIV/AIDS no Brasil é concentrada em homens que fazem sexo com homens (HSH), mas suas taxas de testagem são incompatíveis com seus riscos. Estratégias para expandir o diagnóstico precoce entre HSH podem incluir kits de autotestagem em ambiente doméstico (AAD), como os disponíveis para compra nos Estados Unidos. Em abril de 2011, realizamos uma pesquisa com HSH brasileiros recrutados em Facebook para conhecer preferências de testagem e aceitabilidade da AAD. Entre 356 HSH HIV(-) testados previamente, 47% preferiam a AAD, 27% testagem em clínicas e 26% sem preferência. HSH com menos testagem ou que consideraram a testagem sem fazê-la tinham maior probabilidade de preferir a AAD (p 〈 0,05). Quase 90% usariam a AAD, 62 e 54% para decidir sobre ter sexo desprotegido com parceiros regulares e novos, respectivamente. Dificuldade de entender os testes (32%) e receber os resultados sozinhos (23%) foram preocupações referidas. Testes anti-HIV de AAD podem ser atrativos para HSH e resultar em aumento de testagem. Pesquisas com foco na viabilidade e utilização dos kits AAD na prática são necessárias.

    Abstract: There is a critical lack of research on violence experienced by women when meeting their daily water and sanitation needs. This short report describes the cumulative lifetime incidence of exposure to violence when using the toilet or collecting water (water, sanitation, and hygiene [WASH]-related violence) and identifies associated health and behavioral risks. Data from 1,870 participants collected in 2013–2015 from a longitudinal cohort of young women in rural South Africa were included in this analysis. We found that exposure to WASH-related violence was high: 25.9% experienced violence when collecting water or when using the toilet. Those who experienced violence were more likely to report pregnancy, an older partner, unprotected sex, experience of intimate partner violence, engaging in transactional sex, depressive symptoms, and anxiety. Future research should investigate the location and type of violence experienced and examine how WASH-related violence is related to health outcomes to identify gender-centered WASH interventions that reduce violence exposure.
