Clinicians often assume that the specific difficulties associated with ADHD are bound to affect sexual behaviors, and favor risky sexual behaviors, thereby increasing the frequency of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). This review provides an up-to-date synthesis of the literature concerning STDs in patients with ADHD. A systematic review of the literature was performed using the PubMed, PsychInfo, and Embase databases, with STDs as the main outcome measure. Patients with ADHD report more STDs than the general population. Results are limited by the small number of existing studies, as well as the heterogeneity of the outcome measures. Findings from this first systematic review of data on STDs in individuals with ADHD suggest that ADHD affects sexual health and sexual behaviors. Clinicians treating patients with ADHD should explore risky sexual behaviors in their patients and raise awareness about the risk of contracting STDs. Further studies are warranted to better evaluate the risk of contracting an STD in patients with ADHD.</p> Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity Comorbidity Humans Risk-Taking Sexual Behavior Sexually Transmitted Diseases Dewey 616.89 60 Département de psychiatrie 225 false 1342 Régulation des émotions : TDAH et trouble de la personnalité borderline 1028 Journal of psychiatric practice 30 4 7cb6eb8b-bf5d-4a2d-aea6-318e837eadea Article (Published version) Public pra-30-259.pdf 274645 application/pdf CC BY-NC-ND-4.0 2825176220a1c97181f9e44573a2507c4a38ef43535f58a0c6106003b10e2137 openAccess Faculté de médecine / Section de médecine clinique / Département de psychiatrie
