Abstract
WHO considers adolescence as the period understood life between 10 and 19 and is assumed as a “psychological age” where it is necessary to devise psychological development “as a process that does not happen automatically nor determined fatally by maturation of the organism but is primarily a historical determination social.1,2 Teenagers are considered a vulnerable group because of sexual and social behaviors that increase susceptibility to a disease or a poor health, as well as being associated with the perception of erroneous risk of the possibility of contracting the infection or be immersed in pregnancy (perceived vulnerability).3–7 Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) include a number of diseases, infectious nature in which sexual transmission is epidemiologically relevant, although some of them is not the most important transmission mechanism. It is now known more than 30 STIs, some of them not curables.8
期刊介绍：
For many diseases, women’s physiology and life-cycle hormonal changes demand important consideration when determining healthcare management options. Age- and gender-related factors can directly affect treatment outcomes, and differences between the clinical management of, say, an adolescent female and that in a pre- or postmenopausal patient may be either subtle or profound. At the same time, there are certain conditions that are far more prevalent in women than men, and these may require special attention. Furthermore, in an increasingly aged population in which women demonstrate a greater life-expectancy.
