According to various studies, sexually transmitted diseases – STDs – are a growing problem among the country’s young population, and the residents of Cartagena are not immune to its devastation, especially when it comes to infections. This despite the fact that we should all know that this evil is avoidable.
Recently, a number of media have quoted a report warning of this matter. According to the studies, the National Institutes of Health (INS) registered 4,716 HIV/AIDS cases in the first quarter of this year, a disproportionate increase compared to the numbers registered during the same period in 2022. Therefore, the entity recommends regular diagnostic testing to detect cases of STDs.
On March 8, 2023, Le Globo revealed the STD situation in Cartagena through a detailed balance of reported cases, estimating that in the first epidemiological period of 2023, 83% of registered cases corresponded to 20 Men between the ages of 34 and 34.
Following the same path, but this time referring to another well-known disease among the Cartagena population: syphilis in pregnancy, the El Tiempo newspaper states in its edition of 8 May 2023 that it has already reached the 17th week of epidemiology. 117 cases were reported, according to the Dadis Regional Health Administration, a disproportionate increase in the incidence of the disease compared to the same period in 2022, when 26 cases of congenital syphilis were registered.
However, despite all the compilation of reports on the subject, I have to say that these are just two of the most well-known STDs.
That being the case, I allow myself to explain in detail what the health authorities believe may be an increase.
Let me clarify: my expertise is not limited to any area of health; I am a lawyer and I will be a historian, but I believe it is my responsibility to be conceptually precise about the diseases that can afflict us. some of them:
Therefore, after knowing the broad conceptual manual on the most common sexually transmitted diseases, it is important, as a final reflection, to believe in the need to consolidate a robust detection and prevention system in the municipality of Cartagena.
Likewise, greater emphasis is placed on the work of parents in teaching young people about sex education issues and the short- and long-term consequences of irresponsible sex.
In addition, in order to meet the requirements of our health department, especially when we are about to elect a new mayor, the new government must formulate an effective shock plan so that more young people can stay away from STDs and live a fulfilling life, A avoidable evil.
