Abstract
In the realm of sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention, the contribution of neurology and neuroscience emerges as pivotal. This abstract explores how insights from these fields inform and enhance the understanding of human cognitive-behavioral dynamics in STI risk-taking. Neurologists and neuroscientists offer valuable perspectives on the interplay between brain function, behavior, and societal influences, shedding light on the underlying mechanisms driving risky sexual behavior. By integrating cognitive-behavioral data provided by neurologists, future STI prevention strategies can be optimized, fostering a comprehensive approach to sexual health promotion and disease prevention.
期刊介绍:
This review aims to compare approaches to medical ethics and bioethics in two forms, Anglo-Saxon (Ethics, Medicine and Public Health) and French (Ethique, Médecine et Politiques Publiques). Thus, in their native languages, the authors will present research on the legitimacy of the practice and appreciation of the consequences of acts towards patients as compared to the limits acceptable by the community, as illustrated by the democratic debate.
