Specific populations are more predisposed to diseases caused by poor access to health care, especially sexual health. This is the case for Indigenous people and other traditional communities around the globe. This work aimed to evaluate the prevalence of some STIs in traditional quilombola communities in the northern region of Brazil.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional and prospective study was carried out from March 2021 to March 2022 of quilombola women from 5 communities. A questionnaire was applied to collect sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical information.
