          Abstract

          Resumo Objetivou-se analisar os casos de doenças sexualmente transmissíveis (DST) atendidos em uma unidade primária de saúde em Fortaleza, Ceará, estudo retrospectivo que analisou 5.590 prontuários de casos de DST atendidos nos anos de 1999 a 2009. Os dados foram coletados de março a junho de 2010 e analisados pelo SPSS 18.0. Pessoas jovens com boa escolaridade e que tiveram múltiplos parceiros sexuais nos últimos três meses apresentaram mais úlcera e verruga. Encontrou-se associação entre apresentar verruga e ter resultado reagente para o HIV e apresentar úlcera e ter resultado reagente de VDRL. Quando analisados por sexo, as mulheres apresentaram mais úlcera, verruga, mais de uma síndrome genital no momento da consulta e aceitaram mais realizar os exames de VDRL e HIV. Já os homens tiveram mais resultado reagente para o HIV. Homens e mulheres com DST apresentaram especificidades comportamentais que os tornam mais vulneráveis ao HIV e sífilis.

          Abstract This study aimed to assess cases of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in a primary healthcare unit in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará. A retrospective study that analyzed 5,590 medical records of STD cases treated between 1999 and 2009. Data were collected from March to June 2010 and analyzed using SPSS 18.0. Young people with high education levels and those with multiple sex partners in the past three months presented with more ulcers and warts. The presence of warts was associated to reactive HIV result, and the presence of ulcers was associated to reactive VDRL result. As for gender, women presented more ulcers, warts, and more than one genital syndrome at physical examination and were more willing to perform VDRL and HIV testing. Men and women with STDs presented behavioral specificities that make them more vulnerable to HIV and syphilis.

          A public health focus on infertility prevention, detection, and management.

          In 2002, 2 million American women of reproductive age were infertile. Infertility is also common among men. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conducts surveillance and research on the causes of infertility, monitors the safety and efficacy of infertility treatment, and sponsors national prevention programs. A CDC-wide working group found that, despite this effort, considerable gaps and opportunities exist in surveillance, research, communication, and program and policy development. We intend to consult with other federal agencies, professional and consumer organizations, the scientific community, the health care community, industry, and other stakeholders, and participate in the development of a national public health plan for the prevention, detection, and management of infertility.

            Human papillomavirus infection and increased risk of HIV acquisition. A systematic review and meta-analysis.

            Human papillomavirus (HPV), one of the commonest sexually transmitted infections, may be a cofactor in HIV acquisition. We systematically reviewed the evidence for an association of HPV infection with HIV acquisition in women, heterosexual men and men who have sex with men (MSM). : Systematic review and meta-analysis. Studies meeting inclusion criteria in Pubmed, Embase and conference abstracts up to 29 July 2011 were identified. Random effects meta-analyses were performed to calculate summary hazard ratios (HR). Publication bias and statistical heterogeneity were evaluated and population attributable fractions (PAFs) calculated. Eight articles were included, with previously unpublished data from five authors. Seven studies found an association between prevalent HPV and HIV acquisition. Risk of HIV acquisition in women doubled with prevalent HPV infection with any genotype [HR = 2.06 (95% CI = 1.44-2.94), I = 0%], although adjustment for confounders was often inadequate. The effect was similar for high-risk [HR = 1.99 (95% CI = 1.54-2.56), I = 8.4%] and low-risk [HR = 2.01 (95% CI = 1.27-3.20), I = 0%] HPV genotypes with weak evidence of publication bias (P = 0.06). Two studies in men were identified: both showed an association between HPV infection and HIV acquisition. Unpublished data from one of two studies in women indicated an association between genotypes targeted by HPV vaccines and HIV acquisition. PAFs for HIV attributable to infection with any HPV genotype ranged between 21 and 37%. If further studies validate the association between HPV infection and HIV acquisition, HPV vaccines may reduce HIV incidence in high HPV prevalence populations, in addition to preventing cervical cancer. HIV surveillance studies during implementation of HPV vaccine programmes are warranted.
