Abstract:

The objective of this study is to evaluate the vulnerability of Brazilian youth for STDs/HIV-AIDS and Viral Hepatitis. 1.208 youth aged 18 to 29 in 15 states and Federal District were interviewed. Margin of error of the research regional and nationally adjusted was 2.8%. Study was approved by EC of the Medicine Faculty of the University of Brasilia including supportPAHO and Ministry of Health. Scale with 35 questions (knowledge, attitudes and practices) was the main dependent variable. Adjusted linear regression models identified the demographic and social determinant factors that explain scale variations. Scale has reached satisfactory level of consistency (Alpha-Cronbach: 0.689). Socio demographic factors associated to scale variations include gender, race, education and civil status. Social determinants associated to scale variations include frequency of discussions about sexuality with parents and health professionals, alcohol consumption, leisure and being part of a social movement organization, access to the internet, interest in learning and having the father and/or teacher as a personal reference. Brazilian youth are vulnerable to the transmission of STDs/HIV AIDS. Public policies are required to promote the engagement of parents and teachers in issues related to sexuality.
