N2 - The aim of this study was to analyze the diagnosis of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) according to self-reporting by a sample of Colombian adult population. A secondary source analysis was carried out using data of the National Health Survey-2007. The sample consisted of 29,760 persons between ages 18 and 69. At national level, a self-reported diagnosis of STD of 0.6% was found; the highest percentages occurred in the Pacific and Atlantic regions, and the lowest in Bogotá. Findings showed that women (OR=1.7), adults in the 18-24 age range (OR=11.9), and population affiliated to the subsidized regime (OR=2.1) were more likely to report STD diagnosis. Social determinants linked to the socio-economic position, poverty, access to health services and the roles of gender must be taken into consideration when analyzing STDs in Colombia.
