  1. PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES IN CUBA.

    On Cuba we notify between 40 and 50 thousand cases annually only of Sifilis, Blenorragia and Condylomatum Acuminatum, with tendencies to the increment for years. In order to get modification of the tendencies and reduction of the transmission of these diseases, we take promotional actions of health directed to establish habits and sexual safe or minor- risk conducts, but that only we have impact in the long term, because it is well known that it does not prove to be easy to modify these behavioral aspects of the life of people. These educational and promotional actions from health are common for all the Sexually Transmitted Diseases, including the HIV for that reason the actions played inside a specific program benefit the prevention in the group. With this method we exercise a better control and we raise knowledge and we supply of tools that they avoid the propagation of these diseases.
