- Abstract
The illness can reveals impacts and consequences of social, economic and cultural inequalities. To evaluate the seroprevalence of HIV infection, Hepatitis B and C and Syphilis and sexual behavior of residents of the Nova Amazônia Settlement Project (PANA). Observational, cross-sectional, descriptive, quantitative and qualitative study, involving 246 residents of PANA, carried out between November 2019 and September 2020. A questionnaire was applied and rapid tests were performed for HIV 1 and 2, Syphilis and Hepatitis B and C. A prevalence of 4.1% for sexually transmitted diseases was observed, statistically associated with being male (p = 0.04), being over 40 years old (p = 0.003) and having been related with more than 10 sexual partners throughout life (p = 0.03). Due to the identification of risky sexual behaviors, such as very low adherence to condom use, it is necessary to perform an early diagnosis and monitor new cases.
