The objective is to present risky sexual behaviors that can lead to contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In San Luis Potosí, Mexico, a universe of 77 men with active sexual life was studied; a self-administered questionnaire with four sections was applied: initiation of sexual intercourse, sexually transmitted diseases, preventive actions and number of sexual partners. To measure sexual behavior, two scales were designed, an ordinal one to observe different levels, a nominal one for the presence or absence of risky sexual behaviors. Some results obtained show that 87.1% had their first sexual intercourse at age 18 or earlier, 53.2% always used condoms, 93.5% had their first sexual intercourse with women and 6.5% with men, and 63.7% engaged in risky sexual behavior. One of the conclusions is that the majority of males in this study engaged in one or more risky sexual behaviors that can lead to contracting HPV and other sexually transmitted diseases

College students engage in high risk sexual behaviors. Condom use is one method of prevent-ing negative consequences of risky sexual behaviors. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identifyperceived barriers and perceived benefits to condom use among college students. A survey was developedand used to assess the study purpose. Study findings indicated barriers to condom use were reduced pleasure(32.5%), knowing a partner’s sexual history (26.5%), and condoms limit intimacy (19.9%). The lead-ing benefits of condom use were preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (63.8%), condomshelp prevent sexually transmitted diseases (50.1%), and feelings of safety after using condoms (49.3%).Number of partners significantly influenced the perceived barriers (p <.001) and benefits (vaginal andoral p <.001; anal p = .036). These findings may beneficial to those creating safer sex educational pro-grams aimed at increasing rates of condom use among college students.

Screening And Diagnosis

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) significantly impact persons living with HIV and occur at relatively high incidence among persons living with HIV. Bacterial STIs, namely, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, have increased tremendously since the advent of safe and effective antiretroviral therapy. Thus, while persons living with HIV are living much longer and healthier lives, many are experiencing a higher burden of STIs. The majority of STIs are asymptomatic, which raises challenges in screening and diagnosis and consequently the potential for delayed treatment. Taking a sexual history including sexual practices, partners, and symptoms should be a part of routine care of persons living with HIV. Annual screening for STIs is essential and should be more frequent as determined by sexual history. Prompt treatment can prevent further morbidity and adverse outcomes.

Living With Hiv

Background: Antiretroviral therapies (ARTs) offer promising new avenues for HIV prevention. Unfortunately, people infected with HIV who have co-occurring sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are more infectious than suggested by the amount of virus in their peripheral blood. We examined the history of sexually transmitted coinfections in people living with HIV. Methods: People living with HIV/AIDS completed confidential computerized interviews that assessed history of STI, sexual behaviors, and STI knowledge. Results: Among 414 men and 156 women currently receiving ART, 53% had been diagnosed with at least 1 STI since testing HIV positive; 24% women, 19% men, and 11% transgender persons had been diagnosed with an STI in the past year. History of STI was associated with younger age, greater STI knowledge, substance use, and ART nonadherence. Conclusions: Aggressive strategies for detecting and treating STI in people receiving ART will be necessary to achieve protective benefits.
