Symptomatic Sexually Transmitted Infections in Brazil ’s emerging rural populations

We used a cross-sectional study in 2011 to estimate prevalence and risk behaviors for self-reported symptomatic sexually transmitted infections (STI) in rural settlers in Midwestern Brazil. 353 individuals who had been living in the settlement for more than 6 months were recruited. The endpoint variable was having reported vaginal discharge, urethral discharge, genital ulcers, or anogenital warts in the previous 12 months. Univariate and multivariate Poisson regressions were performed to identify STI correlates.
