Abstract

During pregnancy, the lack of sexual assistance and education during prenatal care leads to the prevalence of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), with Hepatitis B and Syphilis being the most prevalent. Thus, this study aimed to compare the prevalence of Hepatitis B and Syphilis in pregnant women in the 12th Health Region of Pará and the state, from 2010 to 2020. This is a review study of the information obtained from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) database, between 2010 and 2020, and articles from the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) and Virtual Health Library (VHL) databases. Between 2010 and 2020, 478 cases of Hepatitis B were reported in pregnant women in Pará. Of these, 10% (n = 49) were recorded in the Araguaia Region, with the 2nd trimester, age between 20 and 39 years, and the chronic form of the disease being the most common. In the same period, 6,324 cases of syphilis were reported in pregnant women in Pará, with the Araguaia region accounting for 5.5% (n = 353) of the cases, with the age group between 20 and 39 years and the primary form of the disease being more common. Hepatitis B and Syphilis continue to pose challenges to maternal health in Pará, especially in the Araguaia Region. Therefore, preventive health policies are vital instruments to ensure a safer pregnancy.
