ABSTRACT

The pregnancy does not provide women or their babies any additional protection
against STIs. Many STIs are ‘silent,’ or have no symptoms; About half of these
infections are in people between the ages of 15 and 24. Young people are at
greater risk of getting an STI for several reasons: Young women’s bodies are
biologically more prone to STIs. Some young people do not get the recommended
STI tests. A pregnancy woman can be infected with the same sexually transmitted
infections (STIs) as a non-pregnant woman.
The risk that a pregnant women is carrying an STI infection have a high probability,
thus becoming a lifelong condition that pregnant women must carry; Pregnant
women must go through different processes of adaptation and acceptance of their
acquired pathologies, among them, in these processes, pregnant women and their
families must adapt emotionally and control events related to being positive for an
STI; Pregnant women can face many challenges and moments of crisis; Among
them, by assimilating the risk factor that their lives will be at risk, assimilating the
changes, facing treatments, combat stigmas and prejudices placed by society due
to misinformation and lack of empathy, among others. Each of these processes
involves processing key adaptation points. STIs will undoubtedly leave a great
mark on pregnant women.
A sexually transmitted infections can complicate the pregnancy and may have
serious effects on both the pregnancy woman and her’s developing baby. Some of
these problems may be seen at birth; others may not be discovered until months or
years later. In addition, it is well known that infection with an STI can make it easier
for a person to get infected with HIV. Most of these problems can be prevented.
This includes tests for STIs starting early in pregnancy and repeated close to
delivery, as needed.

Descriptors: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), pregnant woman.
