Introduction: Sexually Transmitted Infections are Public Health problems, due to their magnitude and difficulty in accessing adequate treatment. Considering the magnitude and consequences of STIs for the world, it is important to provide and develop studies that allow researchers and managers of public policies and social investments to outline specific, solid and long-term strategies for the transformation of behaviors. In this sense, it is emphasized that it is necessary to implement specific policies so that they contemplate regional realities, peculiarities and specificities of Amazonian riverside communities regarding these infections, the subjects involved and the care practices. Objective: To explore the knowledge of riverine families about Sexually Transmitted Infections. Methodology: Exploratory descriptive research with a qualitative approach. It was carried out in the city of Igarapé-Miri-PA, a riverside community on the Meruú River and is located in the mesoregion of northeast Pará and in the microregion of Cametá and is 78 km away from the capital of Pará, Belém, in the lower Tocantins. Data collection took place in January 2022, through forms. Data were processed in the IRAMUTEQ software and submitted to content analysis. Result: 38 families were interviewed, most of the participants were female, aged between 36 and 59 years old, in a stable union and with different schooling, with emphasis on elementary school. The data pointed to 04 classes, later presented in three categories such as: care practice, knowledge of sexually transmitted infections and accessibility to health services and the availability of treatment. Final considerations: Residents have deficient knowledge about sexually transmitted diseases, whether for prevention or treatment. The care practices mentioned are related to the use of natural resources and presented in the form of bottles and teas, used as an alternative to the scarcity of local primary care services. The lack of accessibility to health services and the conditions of social vulnerability interfere with knowledge, care and continuity of treatment by the public health service.

Fatores da vulnerabilidade associados à sífilis e HIV em uma comunidade ribeirinha amazônica
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-08-26) PINHO, Ellen Christiane Corrêa; SILVA, Richardson Augusto Rosendo da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2184669241700299; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6290-9365; CINHA, Carlos Leonardo Figueiredo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9603271880856443; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1891-4201
Background: There is an intensification of cases by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and syphilis in some population segments, mainly in the northern region of Brazil. The state of Pará has the second highest AIDS mortality rate in the country, and a growing increase in the incidence of notifiable sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In this epidemiological sphere, the riverside population of the Amazon is included, which are miscegenations of indigenous peoples, Africans, and others, who suffer from low socioeconomic indicators, geographic barriers and access to health. Objective: To analyze vulnerability factors associated with the occurrence and knowledge of STIs (syphilis and HIV) in a riverside population in the Brazilian Amazon. Method: This is a cross-sectional study carried out in Ilha do Combu – Belém/PA. The sample calculation was performed using the Statcalc module – Sample size and power of the EPI INFO Version 7.2.2.16 program. For the sample, people aged 18 years or older and residents of the island were considered. Data collection took place through the application of two instruments: Sexually Transmitted Disease Knowledge Questionnaire (STD-KQ) used to measure the level of knowledge of riverside people; and to survey the population and the dimensions of vulnerability, the adapted instrument applied in the nationwide household survey of the “Research of Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices in the Brazilian Population” (PCAP) was used. The investigation for infections was carried out by means of a rapid test for HIV and syphilis, and peripheral blood collection for rapid plasma reaginine in cases of rapid test reagents for syphilis. For data analysis, descriptive statistics and a logistic regression model were used. In univariate binary regression were selected for multiple regression. The variables with the highest p-value were removed one at a time until the final fit of the multiple ordinal logistic regression model. All statistical analyzes were performed using Minitab 20® software. A significance level of 5%, confidence interval (CI) of 95% and Odds Ratio (OR) were adopted. Results: The total consisted of 325 riverside dwellers with a prevalence of syphilis of 6.15% (20) and of HIV of 0.61% (2), being a coinfection. 190 were female and 135 were male. 68.9% (220) had a mean age of 40 years and 56.6% (184) had never attended school or had elementary school. The variables related to individual vulnerability that were associated with the outcome/chance of infection for STIs in the final regression were almost four times higher in participants aged 48 years or older (p=0.022), having had a blood transfusion (p=0.023 ), people who had more than one sexual partner in the last 6 months (p=0.028) and did not know the female condom (p=0.031); and having a current sexual partner (p=0.041) had a low risk of 0.33 for the outcome. For social vulnerability, no variable was associated. And in the programmatic dimension, not having taken a rapid test for HIV presented a low risk of 0.26 (p=0.021). Regarding the level of knowledge in the riverside population, 65.5% (213) participants had low knowledge (0 to 14 correct answers/28 questions). On the other hand, in the association between the factors of level of knowledge about STIs, the three dimensions of vulnerability were present. Among them, participants aged 48 years or older had a risk 1.93 times higher (p=0.012) for low level of knowledge about STIs, not knowing their partner's serology had a risk of 1.92 times (p=0.011 ); almost 4 times greater chance (p=0.000) was obtained among riverside dwellers with low schooling; never having been tested for STIs in life had a chance of 2.51 (p=0.000), and not having access to condoms in the last year the risk was 1.95 times (p=0.006) of low knowledge. Conclusion: The riverside population was vulnerable to syphilis and HIV in the individual and programmatic dimensions. Regarding the level of knowledge about STIs, this population suffers from a deficit, and is vulnerable in all dimensions.
