摘要
We used a cross-sectional study in 2011 to estimate prevalence and risk behaviors for self-reported symptomatic sexually transmitted infections (STI) in rural settlers in Midwestern Brazil. There were 353 individuals recruited who had been living in the settlement for more than 6 months. The endpoint variable was having reported vaginal discharge, urethral discharge, genital ulcers, or anogenital warts in the previous 12 months. Univariate and multivariate Poisson regressions were performed to identify STI correlates. A prevalence of 22.4% of self-reported symptomatic STI was found. Being female, homosexual, and/or having lived in camps were associated with self-report of STI (p < .05). The high prevalence of self-reported symptomatic STI among settlers suggested that this was a key population in the epidemiology of STI in rural regions and demands the strengthening of health promotion actions in this vulnerable population, especially for women, homosexuals, and those who previously lived in camps.
