Resumo: | Novel coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) has impacted health care in general and has disrupted our routines. Health care services were mostly directed towards the emergency response and containment measures to halt virus spreading have been applied worldwide. It has also indirectly impacted the transmission of other infections, including sexually transmitted infections (STI). For STI, physical distancing measures have the potential to decrease STI transmission whereas the impact of COVID-19 on healthcare resources with interruption of STI diagnosis and treatment drives in the opposite direction. The question is how the counterbalancing impact of these forces will affect the course of STI epidemic. In this article we review the current available data on the COVID-19 impact on sexual behaviours, STI services interruption and reported STI rates, including local data. |

Os serviços de saúde foram essencialmente dirigidos para a resposta à pandemia. Para diminuir a disseminação do vírus, medidas de confinamento foram aplicadas à escala planetária. Indiretamente, a COVID-19 influenciou também a transmissão de outras infeções, incluindo as infeções sexualmente transmissíveis (IST). Enquanto as medidas de distanciamento social têm potencial para diminuir a incidência de IST, o encerramento e a diminuição dos serviços de diagnóstico e tratamento de IST tendem a uma evolução oposta. A questão reside na forma como estas duas forças contraditórias se irão ajustar. Neste artigo revemos o impacto da COVID-19 na alteração dos comportamentos sexuais, na resposta das clínicas de IST e na incidência de IST, incluindo dados locais.Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia2021-10-17T00:00:00Zjournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.79.3.1325oai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/1325Journal of the Portuguese Society of Dermatology and Venereology; Vol 79 No 3 (2021): July - September; 247-251Revista da Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia; v. 79 n. 3 (2021): Julho - Setembro; 247-2512182-24092182-2395reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/1325https://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.79.3.1325https://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/1325/918Copyright (c) 2021 Journal of the Portuguese Society of Dermatology and Venereologyhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBouceiro-Mendes, RitaBorges-da-Costa, J.2022-10-06T12:35:18Zoai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/1325Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:11:19.616489Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
