Abstract

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) in immigrants and refugees living in the metropolitan region of Goiânia, Goiás.

Method: This is a cross-sectional and analytical study. Data collection was carried out from July 2019 to January 2020 and 308 immigrants and refugees were included in the sample. All were underwent face-to-face interviews and were tested for HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis B, using rapid tests.

Results: The general prevalence for any of the STIs investigated was 8.8% (95%CI 6.0% - 12.3%), being 5.8% (95%CI 3.6% - 8.9%) for Hepatitis B, 2.3% for Syphilis (95%CI 1.00% - 4.4%) and 0.7% for HIV (95%CI 0.1% - 2.1%). Multiple analysis, using logistic regression, showed that the variables male gender (OR = 2.7) and length of time living in Brazil (OR = 2.6) were significantly associated with STIs (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that STIs are a health problem in immigrants/refugees, which appear to be enhanced with the length of migration in the country. Public policies that guarantee health care for this population shall be considered.

获取知识以提供护理：戈亚斯州移民中性传播感染的流行率和相关因素。

目的：估算戈亚斯州戈亚尼亚市移民和难民的性传播感染率：估算居住在戈亚斯州戈亚尼亚市的移民和难民的性传播感染率：这是一项横断面分析研究。数据收集工作于 2019 年 7 月至 2020 年 1 月进行，样本包括 308 名移民和难民。所有样本均接受了面对面访谈，并使用快速检测仪进行了艾滋病毒、梅毒和乙型肝炎检测：所调查性传播感染的总体发病率为 8.8%（95%CI 6.0% - 12.3%），其中乙型肝炎为 5.8%（95%CI 3.6% - 8.9%），梅毒为 2.3%（95%CI 1.00% - 4.4%），艾滋病毒为 0.7%（95%CI 0.1% - 2.1%）。使用逻辑回归法进行的多重分析表明，男性性别（OR = 2.7）和在巴西居住时间（OR = 2.6）这两个变量与性传播感染显著相关（P < 0.05）：这项研究的结果表明，性传播感染是移民/难民的一个健康问题，似乎会随着移民在该国居住时间的延长而加剧。应考虑制定公共政策，保障这一人群的医疗保健。
