If you want to know what STIs are and how to prevent them, stay with me in this video. 01:40 - What are STIs STIs (sexually transmitted infections) are diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites, transmitted through unprotected sexual intercourse. Among the main STIs are HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, HPV, herpes simplex and some types of hepatitis. These infections can be transmitted through vaginal, anal or oral sex. 03:36 - Condom Care for STIs Correct and consistent use of condoms is one of the most effective methods for preventing STIs, as it acts as a physical barrier that prevents the exchange of body fluids. They must be stored and used correctly, paying attention to the expiration date and how to open the package, to avoid tampering. 05:11 - Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PREP) Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a preventive treatment with antiretroviral drugs for people who are not infected with HIV but at high risk of contracting the virus. It significantly reduces the risk of infection, but must be used in conjunction with condoms, as it only protects against HIV and not against other STIs. 06:54 - Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) is an emergency treatment used after possible exposure to HIV, started up to 72 hours after contact. It consists of a regimen of medications to be taken for 28 days. It is recommended in situations of unexpected risk, such as condom rupture or sexual assault. 07:42 - Early Testing and Treatment for STIs Regular testing is essential to prevent and control sexually transmitted infections, allowing early identification and treatment. This prevents transmission and health complications. Sexually active people should undergo routine tests, especially for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and HTLV, at least once a year. 08:25 - Sexual Education Sexual education programs are essential to inform about STIs, forms of transmission and the importance of prevention. Sexual education does not teach practices, but teaches prevention, demystifying myths and encouraging the use of preventive methods. Vaccines, such as against HPV and hepatitis B, are effective in preventing some STIs and are part of the immunization schedule. 10:12 - Challenges of Implementing Combination Prevention of STIs Implementing combination prevention faces challenges such as stigma, lack of access to health services and misinformation. Sexuality education is essential to inform and change risk behaviors, reaching different population groups. Combination prevention is effective because it combines different methods, since no single measure offers complete protection against STIs.
