Infecciones de transmisión sexual en poblaciones étnicas autóctonas latinoamericanas. Revisión sistemática

Abstract

Sexually transmitted infections are a public health problem that indigenous communities in Latin America do not escape. This issue requires special attention from science and appropriate policies from the states. This research aimed to develop an integrative systematic review about STIs in Latin American autochthonous ethnic populations, following the methodology established by Mendes et al., fulfilling with the PRISMA quality criteria. The authors processed information from 21 scientific articles that fulfilled the bias quality criteria, which included empirical results of studies carried out in settings of 12 Latin American countries. It was concluded that there were psychosocial, sociocultural and public policy problems that affect this health problem.
