Objective: To compare the rates of hospitalization for Sexually Transmitted Infections in the state of Roraima, North region and Brazil between the years 2009-2018. Method: epidemiological, retrospective, exploratory, descriptive study, with a quantitative approach, comprising the historical series (2009-2018). The data used were the records of hospital admissions for Sexually Transmitted Infections, publicly available in the Hospital Information System of the Unified Health System. The variables evaluated were sex, age group and type of hospitalization. The tabulation and analysis was performed in Microsoft Excel. Results: The data show that, in Roraima, the highest rate of hospitalizations occurred in 2018 (15.29 cases/100 hospitalizations), followed by 2010 (11.55 cases). In addition, in the state, female hospitalizations exceeded male hospitalizations. Stands out that in all regions there was an increase in the number of hospitalizations in children under one year. Conclusions: In the analyzed period, the panorama of hospitalizations in the state of Roraima, in the North region and in Brazil was similar. The number of hospitalizations in children under one year old has grown in all settings, which sparks a discussion about the prevention of Sexually Transmitted Infections in the adult population, especially women, since some diseases can be transmitted vertically.
