BACKGROUND
Syphilis is a chronic infectious disease, and its prevalence has been described since the 15th century. Because of the high prevalence of this infection in Brazil, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of syphilis and its associated factors among adolescent and young women living in the city of Boa Vista, Roraima, Brazil.
METHODS
The present study was cross-sectional, descriptive, analytical and quantitative. It involved 200 young and adolescent women. Laboratory tests were performed to diagnose syphilis, and a sociodemographic and epidemiological questionnaire was employed.
RESULTS
In the studied sample, 10 women had a positive result for syphilis, characterizing a prevalence of 5% for infection with . There was a statistically significant association between a monthly family income of less than 1 minimum wage and syphilis ( = 0.0449) and between illicit drug use and syphilis ( = 0.0234).
CONCLUSIONS
These results indicate the need for public health interventions, action plans, and the implementation of risk reduction strategies focused on this population.
背景
梅毒是一种慢性传染病，自15世纪以来就有关于其流行情况的描述。由于巴西这种感染的高流行率，本研究旨在评估巴西罗赖马州博阿维斯塔市青少年和年轻女性中梅毒的流行率及其相关因素。
方法
本研究为横断面、描述性、分析性和定量研究。研究对象为200名年轻和青少年女性。进行实验室检测以诊断梅毒，并采用社会人口学和流行病学调查问卷。
结果
在研究样本中，10名女性梅毒检测结果呈阳性，感染率为5%。家庭月收入低于1个最低工资标准与梅毒之间存在统计学显著关联（P = 0.0449），使用非法药物与梅毒之间也存在统计学显著关联（P = 0.0234）。
结论
这些结果表明需要针对该人群开展公共卫生干预、行动计划以及实施风险降低策略。
