Doenças sexualmente transmissíveis

Abstract

A part of a project about diseases sexually transmittable, which is being developed in Londrina, state of Parana, the authors present the results that were obtained through a last questionnaire about these diseases answered by high short students. Starting from a sample by conglomeration, several characteristics of the population such as age, sex, episodes of diseases sexually transmittable, periods of study, etc. were studied. The knowledge about the diseases were measured through a score and considered low (56,4% right per questionnaire). The scare was also analyzed in relation to other circumstances and the conclusion was that the two more important parts factors that interfere in the knowledge are the masculine sex and age. The conclusion was that the population involved in the research is in danger, which justifies a program of information in the matter. The suggestion is that this information could be done by high school students especially trained, who might be better accepted by their own colleagues.
