THE DISSEMINATION OF STI AT UNIVERSITY PARTIES

A COMPREHENSIVE PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

The aim of this article was to analyze the causes of the high number of sexually transmitted infections spread among young university students, based on data collection and scientific studies, which revealed the reality that a low number of young people talk about sexuality in their homes and the significant increase in cases of syphilis in Florianópolis. The data analysis shows that young people are more likely to be contaminated by these diseases. The study concluded that young people are more prone to sexually transmitted infections due to the scarcity of sex education in schools, the early onset of active sexual life, lack of information about STIs, health vulnerability and lack of family communication on the subject.
