Full textAbstract:
The goal of this review was to present the risk factors of adolescent reproductive and sexual health. During adolescence, a large number of young people become sexually active. Young people often do not have enough knowledge about sexuality, fertility control and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. It is important to comprehensively observe the sexuality of adolescents, as well as all the elements that contribute to the disruption of their reproductive health. Sexual behavior among adolescents is a complex problem, because facts shows that adolescents, despite being accurately and well informed, still behave inconsistently when it comes to protection against pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. One of the main reasons seems to be insufficient amount of information and untimely use of contraceptives.

Introduction: Adolescent reproductive health is defined as the physical and psychological well-being of a teenager, including freedom from unwanted pregnancy, unsafe abortion, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) including HIV/AIDS, and all forms of sexual violence and coercion. Objective: This outreach activity was carried out with the aim of increasing the knowledge of Man 2 Ciamis students about how to maintain reproductive health by avoiding casual sex to avoid sexual diseases such as HIV/AIDS. Method: The community service method is carried out by means of counseling and discussions with MAN 2 Ciamis students. Result: It can be concluded that before the health education was implemented, 13 participants (36%) were able to answer questions. And after the presentation was delivered, the participants' knowledge increased to 92% who were able to answer questions. So, this significant participant understanding shows the effectiveness of the material that has been delivered. Conclusion: After carrying out this outreach activity, there was a significant increase in the knowledge of Man 2 Ciamis students regarding the material that had been discussed, namely reproductive health and the impact of casual sex on teenagers. This can be seen from the participants' activeness in participating in health education activities which are useful for preventing and overcoming promiscuity among teenagers which can result in sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS.

Introduction. Sexually transmitted diseases are a public health, medical and social problem. They are among the five most common diseases in the world. Knowledge about sexually transmitted infections and protection from them is one of the most important methods of prevention and protection of sexual and reproductive health. Objectives. The main aim of this paper was to determine the knowledge of persons with visual impairments about sexually transmitted diseases. Other objectives included determining the differences between knowledge of persons with and without visual impairments about sexually transmitted diseases and determining gender, age, and educational differences. Methods. The study included 50 participants with visual impairment and 50 participants without visual impairment, equal in gender, age, and level of education. Data were collected online in May 2020. The Illustrative Questionnaire for Interview-Surveys with Young People was used for this purpose. Results. The main results showed a statistically significant difference between persons with and those without visual impairment in terms of knowledge about the types of sexually transmitted diseases. In the subsample of participants with visual impairment, there were statistically significant differences related to gender, but no age and educational differences. Conclusion. It is necessary to pay more attention to people with visual impairment with regard to sexual and reproductive health through the organization of training and workshops in order to increase knowledge on this topic.

Full textAbstract:
Increase in adolescent sexual activity is a phenomenon noticed in modern societies, as well as in Serbia. The sexual activity reveals new health related problems, in relation to the unpremeditated pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. Reproductive health is vulnerable especially in case of persons having first sexual experiences being adolescent, what could be explained by the physical immaturity and psychosocial infirmity to be responsible in sexual behaviour. The study of 300 sexually active adolescent women aged 19, attending The Youth Advisory Center of The Mother and Child Health Care Institute of Serbia was conducted between 1995 - 1997. The aim of this study was to evaluate how much the reproductive health in this population was endangered, by analyzing their sexual behavior, their attitudes in the spheres of sexuality and reproduction, as well as some variables of social microenvironments that might be relevant to adolescent sexual behavior. Questionnaire included investigation of youth opinion about some acceptable social measures in this field. According to the results of this study the adolescents reproductive health is seriously endangered. Interwieved adolescent females most frequently used traditional birth control methods, like coitus interruptus (54,3%), and often didn't think about the risk of acquiring sexually transmitted disesase (with new sexual partner the regular condom use was reported only in case of 55,6% girls). Adolescent girls had also poor health behaviors so that 31,0% of interviewed adolescent females visited gynecologist for the first time not earlier than one to three years after their first sexual experience. That resulted in large number of unplanned pregnancies (16,0% of interwieved girls had one or more induced abortions) and, possibly, a high prevalence of sexually transmitted infections. The model of sexual behavior, that was accepted by adolescent females was partly due to the lack of adolescents knowledge about sexuallity, contraception and sexually transmitted diseases. Improper were the main sources of relevant knowledge (peers, parents, mass media), therefore, youth had many misconceptions in this sphere (about the harmfulness of modern contraception, reliability of coitus interruptus method, lack of risk for sexually transmitted diseases transmission). The social adolescent sexual and reproductive health programme doesn't exist in Serbia. Parents of adolescent females were passive, and school and health care workers are not engaged in these matters enough. The possibility for social intervention programme exists, because young people were willing to improve their knowledge about sexuality and reproduction (83,3%) mostly by sex education in schools (51,0%) and through mass media (33,3%). The most appreciated sources of relevant knowledge would be physicians (67,0%), from whom they expect to have time and patience for them and their problems (91,3%).

Adolescents and young adults are an important target concerning reducing health-risk behavior adoption, including sexual health. Studying their knowledge concerning sexuality and their main counsellors, can be an important step in targeting an updated health promotion approach. This study characterized adolescents and young adults’ knowledge and attitudes about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and contraception, prospecting for their main trusted counseling sources. We conducted a cross-sectional, population-based, self-report survey of 746 individuals aged between 14 and 24 years from Paredes, Portugal. The questionnaire included many dimensions, as demographic characteristics, youth behavior, currently sexually active status, main counselors concerning health topics, awareness, and knowledge about STDs and contraception. Mean age of the participants was 18.3 years, 50.5% of them had started their sexual activity. Males present themselves as more sexually active, starting earlier, and have more sexual partners than females. Participants reported an adequate knowledge perception about STDs and contraception methods, however we found different patterns on specific STDs and contraceptive methods, according to gender, age, and sexually active status. Our results help design specific interventions to reach youth, community, and healthcare providers, pointing out the value of bringing people to the center of health policies.

Full textAbstract:
The incidence of sexually transmitted infections in man who have sex with man (MSM) is increased among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients. HIV and syphilis are two sexually transmitted diseases that frequently interact and modify the symptoms and signs of the disease. A case of a 27-year-old male with generalized multiple erythematous plaques including palms and soles since 4 days ago was reported. The patient has been diagnosed with HIV since 2017. The patient is sexually active with a male sex partner and rarely uses condoms. Diagnosis of syphilis is made based on anamnesis, physical examination, and laboratory tests. The treatment was benzathine penicillin G 2.4 million units in 3 doses. The combination of HIV and syphilis needs longer therapy and requires serological follow-up for up to 24 months.

Full textAbstract:
In October 1998, cohorts of circular migrant men and their non-migrant sexual partners, and non-migrant men and their non-migrant sexual partners from rural South Africa were recruited and followed-up every 4 months until October 2001. At each visit, information on socio-demographic, sexual behaviour, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV was collected. In total, 553 individuals aged between 18 and 69 years were recruited. A man and his sexual partner(s) form a sexual partnership. Migration status, age, marital status, age at sexual debut, recent sexual partners and HIV status were found to be important determinants of STI. The risk of STI varies (σ2=1·45, P<0·001) significantly across sexual partnerships even after controlling for important determinants. The variance implies substantial correlation (0·59) between members of the same sexual partnership. Ignoring this correlation leads to incorrect inference. Migration contributes significantly to the spread of STIs. Community interventions of HIV/STI should target co-transmitter sexual partnerships rather than high-risk individuals.

Annotation. Sexually Transmitted Diseases, due to their growth and related complications, have reached the point where they begin to significantly affect the quality of life and even mortality. This indicates that the problem has gone beyond the purely medical framework, entering the range of critical social tasks. The aim: to study and analyze the main social and demographic factors of the origin and spread of Sexually Transmitted Diseases to further determine their prognostic significance and assess the impact on the level of Sexually Transmitted Diseases among adults. А one-step retrospective epidemiological study involved 421 patients with confirmed Sexually Transmitted Diseases (syphilis, gonococcal infection, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, mycoplasmosis, gardnerellosis), who sought medical help in public secondary tertiary care. The survey was conducted using an anonymous questionnaire, which included three blocks of 43 questions and informed consent. The age distribution of patients with Sexually Transmitted Diseases by nosology allowed to determine their rank in each group: up to 20 years – trichomoniasis (36.8±7.8%), syphilis (26.3±7.1%), gonorrhea (18.4±6.2%); 20.1-40 years and older than 40 years – trichomoniasis (28.5±2.5% and 33.8±5.6%), syphilis (19.5±2.2% and 29.6±5.4%) and gardnerellosis (17.9±2.1% and 11.3±3.7%), respectively. The largest number of respondents by social status were workers (41.3±2.4%), and every third was unemployed (27.3±2.2%). Only 62 (15%) persons had higher education, while 142 subjects were in a registered marriage (33.7±2.3%), others had free sexual relations (66.3%). It is proved that the social and demographic risk groups for the occurrence and spread of Sexually Transmitted Diseases are: unmodified (sex – women; age – 20.1-40 years), modified (type of residence – rural; education – people without higher education; social status – unemployed and workers; marital – persons who are not in a registered marriage).

Association of attractiveness, sex, and sensation seeking with perceptions of sexually transmitted diseases were examined. Subjects (64 women and 56 men) were given a picture and brief description of a target and asked to rate the accuracy of statements based on information provided. Pictures depicted a man or woman previously rated as attractive or unattractive by volunteers. The hobbies listed skydiving and rock climbing for high sensation seekers and reading and listening to music for low sensation seekers. Analysis indicated a significant three-way interaction with the attractive male targets described as high sensation-seeking and being perceived by men as most likely to have a sexually transmitted disease.

Introduction. The reason for extremely high incidence of sexually transmitted infections is the lack of necessary knowledge about the mode of transmission and protection measures. The aim of this study was to determine the level of knowledge about sexually transmitted infections in the population of female students of the University of Novi Sad. Material and methods. The study included 397 female students at the University of Novi Sad from different faculties. A questionnaire was designed for the purpose of this research. Results and discussion. Students from all faculties (55.7-66.7%), with the exception of the medical students, believe that the use of condoms is the safest way of protection from sexually transmitted infections. The medical students showed a different attitude and opinion on the use of condoms and avoidance of multiple sexual partners, which are important measures in the prevention of these diseases (38. 8%). The fact that some sexually transmitted infections caused by viruses are associated with the malignancy of the cervix was recognized by 74.81% of students. The fact that the main therapeutic approach for treatment of sexually transmitted diseases is the simultaneous treatment of both partners was known by 81.86% of female students. As it is known, sexually transmitted infections may not always be symptomatic, which is an opinion held by 73.55% of students. Conclusion. Results obtained in this study indicate the need for implementation of educational activities about sexually transmitted infections, which would enable the preservation and promotion of reproductive health of young people.

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) have been a public health issue in many developing countries, especially in Vietnam. Unsafe sex is considered to be one of the main causes to increase infected person. Therefore, we conducted a study on 3005 men who presented to the Andrology and Sexual Medicine Units of Hanoi Medical University Hospital to analyze the correlation between sexual behaviors and sexually transmitted diseases in men. The result showed that the mean age at first sex (AFS) was 21 years old. The median number of stable sexual partners was 2, the overall rate of STDs was 9.95%, in particular, the proportion of STDs in single men was higher than the married group (11.8% and 7.5%, p < 0.001), men having first intercourse before 25 years old had the rate of STDs was higher compared with their counterpart (21.1% vs. 13.2%, p = 0.002). Subjects with multiple unstable sexual partners were 2.11 times more likely to be infected with STDs, and the risk of infecting STDs would rise 6% for each additional sex partner.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) defines a sexually transmitted infection (STI) as an infection that is transmitted during unprotected sexual intercourse. Indeed, the highest rates of STIs are usually found among young people aged 15 to 24. In Gabon, adolescents' knowledge of sexuality and STIs remains insufficient and early sexual intercourse is the most important factor favouring them. Improving adolescents' knowledge of sexuality education could influence their behaviour.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1256 adolescents in schools in Libreville. Their socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge about STIs, the description of their sexuality and their behaviour towards STIs were obtained through ratings and frequencies. Authos calculated the overall average of adolescents on their knowledge of STIs. Odds ration were used to establish the link between the different variables.Results: Adolescents reported knowledge of STIs (1163/1256). AIDS was the most frequently cited STI by 94.50% of adolescents. Sexual intercourse was the main route of STI transmission and was cited by 687 adolescents who estimated that they knew at least one mode of STI transmission. Almost all female and male adolescents had poor knowledge of STIs, with 98.2% and 98.8% respectively. 84.96% of those with a sexual partner had ever had sex. More than half of sexually active adolescents had multiple partners.Conclusions: Adolescents have a poor overall knowledge of STIs. Sexual risk behaviour remains very high, regardless of gender. To contain the scourge, awareness campaigns using all the means of communication at our disposal and especially the media.

Annotation. Today, socially dangerous diseases are an urgent interdepartmental, interdisciplinary problem around the world, the key main feature of which is its mass nature. The purpose of the present degree work is to analyze the dynamics of the main indicators of socially dangerous sexually transmitted diseases in the national and regional aspects. The epidemiological retrospective study included a study of the situation by analyzing existing directories, bulletins, databases and other electronic resources for the period of 2015–2019. Was done the statistical processing of the intensive indicators of morbidity and prevalence of cofactor socially dangerous sexually transmitted diseases – HIV/STIs. Methods of research – epidemiological, medical, and statistical. It is proved that the incidence rates of classical STIs for the years 2015–2019 decreased annually: syphilis – by (-) 22.3% (from 7.6 to 5.9 per 100 thousand people) in Ukraine and (-) 43.8% (from 8.9 to 5.0 in 2019) in the Vinnytsia region; gonococcal infection – by (-) 42.2% (from 13.5 to 7.8) and (-) 63.3% (from 7.9 to 2.9), respectively. Some risk groups were distinguished by the demographic criteria: sex – male; age groups – 40–59 years (syphilis – 41.8%), 20–34 years (gonorrhea – 56.4%). It is determined that national and regional indicators of morbidity and prevalence of HIV infection have been growing annually: morbidity by (+) 14.2% and (+) 1.6% in Vinnytsia region; prevalence — by (+) 5.5% and (+) 18.6%, respectively. It was also established that among newly diagnosed HIV-positive in 2019 was the highest percentage was among men (58.7%) and in the age group – 25–49 years (69.0%). In the structure of the ways of transmission of the latter, the first place was taken by the sex act – 73.6%. The results of the study of existing trends in the incidence and prevalence of socially dangerous sexually transmitted diseases revealed their comparability with global trends in HIV infection and the opposite of classical STIs, which are caused by the governmental and systemic barriers. Further development of scientific research involves the study of the main risk factors that contribute to the emergence, rapid spread of STIs and determine their rank indicator significance.

Full textAbstract:
The biological history of Chlamydia trachomatis is intertwined with the evolution of the man. Infecting Elemental Bodies (EBs), having penetrated mucosal epithelial cells, wrap themselves in a cloak (ĸλαμις) of glycogen that ensures their obligatory intracellular survival and protects this differentiation into Reticulate Bodies (RBs) that feed on cellular ATP. Multiple chemokines and cytokines are involved under the direction of IL-6 in the florid phase and IL-17A in the scar phase. The WHO has successfully identified the SAFE strategy against trachoma (Surgery, Antibiotics, Facial cleansing, Environment) as the blueprint to eliminate the disease by 2020. Recently, interest has been increasingly focused on changing sexual attitudes in different areas of the world, leaving Musca sorbens, Scatophaga stercoraria, and stepsisters fairly blameless, but extolling the role of Chlamydia trachomatis in apparently “sterile” chronic prostatitis or conjunctivitis or, less frequently, in oropharyngitis and proctitis. The addition of an S (SAFE-S) standing for “sexual behavior” was then proposed to also attract the interest and attention not only of Ophthalmologists and Obstetricians/Gynecologists, Urologists/Andrologists, and the School Authorities for information on the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, but also of Social Physicians and Pediatricians. This means that sexually transmitted infections should be screened in asymptomatic patients with risky sexual behavior or sexual contact with people diagnosed with a transmitted infection.

Patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) suffer from inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. 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.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the vulnerability situations adolescents are in relation to Sexually Transmitted Diseases in Primary Health Care. Method: this is a bibliographical, descriptive, integrative review type search of articles in the MEDLINE, BDENF and LILACS databases, in the period from January 2011 to December 2015. For this purpose, the following descriptors were used: adolescent, sexually transmitted diseases and primary health care, all with associations applying the “AND” in Portuguese, English and Spanish languages. The instrument adapted from the Ursi 2006 study was used to select the articles, which allowed outlining the main information. Results: there were 12 articles analyzed after applying the criteria. The results identified the following themes: socioeconomic conditions, early onset of sexual activity, lack of condom use, gender differences and difficulty of communication and access to Primary Health Care services. Conclusion: it was observed that adolescents need to be sensitized on the circumstances that lead to Sexually Transmitted Diseases, through partnerships with health services and social spaces in the community. Descriptors: Adolescent; Sexually Transmitted Diseases; Primary Health Care; Sexuality; Condoms; Gender Identity.

Syphilis such as the other Sexually transmitted diseases are a cultural background of physician. The authors have presented this case of nodular secondary syphilis for three main reasons. The first one is that, in the last years, syphilis has re-emerged as the problem of public health. The second one is to underline how secondary syphilis, also known as the great imitator, may present itself with numerous manifestations, mimicking different dermatological diseases. Finally, because we want to remember how syphilis and the other sexual transmitted diseases must to be in the cultural background of a dermatologist, and have to be considered in the dermatological differential diagnosis.

Sex education relates to the dissemination of information regarding human reproductive system, sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy, childbirth, puberty, menstruation, and menopause. In Albania, sex education began to become part of the education system for the first time in 1995. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the level of education for sexual health among young adults and to ponder upon the effects of current sex education available for them and the possibilities of improvement. Methods: The study included 200 subjects 72.9% female (n=146) and 27.1% males (n=54) with age range from 18 to 23 years old. Results: The main source of information for sex education turns out to be the Internet (53.8%). This form of education has had a considerable effect on the subject’s sexual life, as half of the subjects think this information is enough for them. 67% of the sample (n=134), think that they need more information regarding sex education. Regarding the knowledge about sexually transmitted diseases, it turns out that the subjects are more informed about HIV/AIDS (96%). They were less informed about condyloma acuminata, HPV, chlamydia and syphilis. The most used protective method is the condom (66.5%), followed by emergency pills (11.2%) and oral contraceptives (7.6%). Conclusion: Sex education among young adults in Albania results promising, as this sample of young adults was knowledgeable about STT and protection. Keywords: sex education, sexually transmitted diseases, protective measures.

Full textAbstract:
A 40-year-old transgender man presented to the Hawaii Department of Health with a one-day history of vaginal discharge. Testing of all exposed sites revealed vaginal and rectal gonorrhea. While he reported a total hysterectomy, pelvic examination revealed a cervix. Review of medical records documented a subtotal hysterectomy; however, the patient had not been screened for cervical cancer or sexually transmitted infections (STIs) for several years after surgery. Transgender men who have sex with cisgender men are at increased risk for HIV and STIs and should be screened at least annually for HIV and STIs from all exposed sites. STI data on transgender men are extremely limited. This case report highlights unmet needs of this population.

Genital ulcerative disease and sexually transmitted infection with subsequent MRSA infection in HIV-seropositive persons have been documented only once. We report a case of a 44-year-old man who presented to the Infectious Diseases Institute, Kampala, Uganda, with chronic genital ulcer disease and who subsequently developed MRSA urethritis and bacteraemia. This case also demonstrates that persistent genital ulcer disease in HIV-seropositive persons may be as a result of concurrent MRSA infection.

Full textAbstract:
To describe the role of traditional healers in STD case management, in-depth interviews were held with 16 healers (seven witchdoctors, five herbalists and four spiritual healers) in four slum areas in Nairobi, Kenya. All healers believed that STDs are sexually transmitted and recognized the main symptoms. The STD-caseload varied largely, with a median of one patient per week. Witchdoctors and herbalists dispensed herbal medication for an average of seven days, whereas spiritual healers prayed. Thirteen healers gave advice on sexual abstinence during treatment, 11 on contact treatment, four on faithfulness and three on condom use. All healers asked patients to return for review and 13 reported referring patients whose conditions persist to public or private health care facilities. Thus, traditional healers in Nairobi play a modest but significant role in STD management. Their contribution to STD health education could be strengthened, especially regarding the promotion of condoms and faithfulness.

Sociodemographic data and information on sexual behaviour/STD history were collected. Patients were examined and specimens taken for laboratory diagnosis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the significant predictors of genital infections among the male patients were: being unmarried, having multiple sexual partners, exposure to a symptomatic sexual partner, high frequency of intercourse per week, having repeated episode[s]of STDs and practising coitus interfemoris. In the female patients, exposure to a symptomatic sexual partner and high frequency of intercourse per week were the only significant predictors

Full textAbstract:
Background: Sexually transmitted diseases are prevalent throughout the world. Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) play a major role in the transmission of HIV infection. The risk of acquiring HIV infection in non-ulcerative STD is 3 to 5 times more than that in persons without any sexually transmitted infections. One of the main non-ulcerative STD is gonorrhoea. The relative incidence of gonococcal infections is about 10 to 13% of total sexually transmitted infections in STD clinics. Aims and objectives was to identify gonococcal infection in patients attending the STD clinic and associated sexually transmitted infections and to study the antimicrobial susceptibility of gonococcus and to modify the disease intervention strategies.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in our institute of venereology, government general hospital and madras medical college, Chennai-03, Tamil Nadu, India. 43 patients with gram stained smear or culture positive for gonococcus who attended the institute from February 2013 to September 2014 were taken into the study. All the details were collected from the case records of the patients. The antibiotic sensitivity testing in N. gonorrhoeae had been done by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Screening for other sexually transmitted diseases had been done and were treated according to the institute guidelines.Results: Specimens from 43 patients (40 male, 3 females) had been collected. 40 specimens were found to be culture positive. Antibiotic sensitivity tests were carried out on those 40 isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae obtained in pure culture. 70% of isolates were resistant to penicillin and 30% were less sensitive to it. 52.5% of the isolates were PPNG. 57.5% of isolates were resistant to ciprofloxacin and 42.5% were less sensitive to it. 7.5% were resistant to ceftriaxone, 12.5% were resistant to cefixime and 15% were resistant to spectinomycin. All the isolates were sensitive to Azithromycin. Three male patients had HIV (6.9%), three had syphilis and one had genital wart. One female patient had trichomoniasis.Conclusions: The results of the study indicate that multidrug resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae is prevalent in this region. Associated STDs must be investigated to prevent the transmission of HIV and further complications. The need for establishing a national surveillance programme for antibiotic resistance becomes clear with this study.

The review addresses issues related to genetic predisposition and resistance to sexually transmitted infections (STI). Genetic factors largely determine the susceptibility of the body to various diseases, including infectious ones. The main influence is given to the genes of the main histocompatibility complex and toll-like receptors. Some STI and genetic polymorphisms responsible for resistance and susceptibility to infections and related clinical consequences are considered. Knowledge of molecular genetic biomarkers is necessary to identify risk groups, conduct predictive measures, in particular vaccination.

Full textAbstract:
Cervical cancer (CC) is the second leading cause of death from malignancy in women in Ecuador. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main causative agent of CC. Although several studies have been conducted on HPV detection in Ecuador, there are limited data on indigenous women. This cross-sectional study aimed to analyze the prevalence of HPV and associated factors in women from the indigenous communities of Quilloac, Saraguro and Sevilla Don Bosco. The study included 396 sexually active women belonging to the aforementioned ethnicities. A validated questionnaire was used to collect socio-demographic data, and real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests were used to detect HPV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). These communities are located in the southern region of Ecuador and face geographical and cultural barriers to accessing health services. The results showed that 28.35% of women tested positive for both types of HPV, 23.48% for high-risk (HR) HPV, and 10.35% for low-risk (LR) HPV. Statistically significant associations were found between HR HPV and having more than three sexual partners (OR 1.99, CI 1.03–3.85) and Chlamydia trachomatis infection (OR 2.54, CI 1.08–5.99). This study suggests that HPV infection and other sexually transmitted pathogens are common among indigenous women, highlighting the need for control measures and timely diagnosis in this population.

Introduction: This study investigated the current state of attitudes, behaviors, and knowledge concerning sex and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among Chinese university students. Methodology: A cross-sectional anonymous university intranet-based survey was given to students attending the Shantou University, Guangdong, China using a 28-item questionnaire. Results: Of 3425 website visitors, 1030 university students completed the survey, of which 80% were between 20 and 25 years of age, 76% considered pre-marital sex acceptable, 21% had had sexual intercourse, and 45% of sexually active students had engaged in oral sex, anal intercourse, or sex with strangers. Students had limited knowledge and awareness about common STIs, symptoms, and complications. Three percent of the sexually active students reported having had STIs and another 8% were not sure whether they had or not. Most students had misconceptions about transmission and prevention of STIs. The internet was the main information resource for 76% of students. Conclusions: Despite having more open attitudes and behaviors towards sex, students’ STI knowledge and awareness of STI risks was considerably limited, raising concerns about a likely rise in STI incidence. Prior knowledge of STIs had no significant influence. Targeted educational measures such as online education and counseling via Chinese websites and social media, and the provision of safer sex and STI-related information by health experts to university students are suggested.

A random sample of 1009 adult male prison inmates from 13 prisons covering short-, medium- and long-term establishments across England and Wales was interviewed about sexual behaviour, drug use and tattooing, inside and outside prison. We report here on their same-sex sexual activity. Thirty-seven men reported having engaged in sexual activity with a man during adulthood. Twenty-two men reported having had sex with a man in prison. Indirect support for this prevalence rate was given by sexually transmitted disease rates and prisoners' estimates of same-sex sexual activity occurring in prison. Twenty out of the twenty-two inmates had engaged in same-sex sexual activity previously outside prison. Two men had sex for the first time in prison (uncoerced). Approximately one-quarter of men who had same-sex sexual activity in prison reported having been coerced into having sex at some point. Same-sex sexual activity appears to be less frequent in the UK prison system as a whole than has previously been suggested.

Sexual impulse will begin to appear in a person when entering adolescent age. The adolescent does different things to fulfill their sexual impulse such as holding hands, hugging, kissing, touching and even having sex. Because this is a new experience to them, they need a lot of information about sexuality such as the reproductive system, sexually transmitted diseases, and others. They can get it in school, the internet, or discuss it with others. The way they deal with their sexual impulse is largely determined by their individual characteristics, knowledge, and discussion partners. This study aims to determine the effect of individual characteristics, knowledge, and information sources on adolescent sexual behavior. This study uses data from the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (SDKI) in 2012 with a unit of analysis adolescence age of 15─19 years and is never married. The method of analysis uses multinomial logistic regression with adolescent sexual behavior as response variables divided into three categories; quiet (ignore it), minor sexual activity, and serious (touching the sensitive area and or having sex). The conclusion is the individual's background, sexual knowledge, and sources of information influence sexual behavior both in boy and girl. Serious sexual behavior tends to occur in adolescents who do not attend school, a man who understands about contraception, girls who misunderstand about pregnancy, and those who discuss sexuality with friends.

Abstract Syphilis is a systemic infection caused by Treponema Pallidum spirochete, which is considered to be the main sexually transmitted disease. The genital ulcerations and local inflammation found in syphilis are favouring factors involved in transmitting the HIV infection. Recent data suggests that individuals suffering from other sexually transmitted diseases are 3 to 5 times more exposed to developing HIV infection. On the other hand, simultaneous HIV infection may worsen the syphilis evolution. In the light of this data we present the case of a patient with syphilis-HIV coinfection recently diagnosed and we will summarize the clinical and evolutive features of the syphilis-HIV coinfection.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The harmful effects of smoking on women’s bodies have been proven. One of these effects is an increase in sexually transmitted diseases, including Trichomonas vaginalis infection. Smoking is one of the main risk factors for infections in the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems in humans. Mechanisms of susceptibility to infection in smokers may involve changes in the host’s structural, functional, and immunological defenses. T. vaginalis infection is one of the non-viral sexually transmitted diseases and the most common curable sexually transmitted infection in the world, which can increase the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease and HIV transmission. This infection is still relatively common, especially in women who smoke and in groups with lower socioeconomic status. We aimed to present a compressive review of the probability of being infected with T. vaginalis in smokers compared to non-smokers. Materials and Methods: PubMed and Google databases were searched for research articles related to smoking and its association with T. vaginalis infection. Results: The smoking status of the person is an independent risk factor for T. vaginalis infection and leads to an increased likelihood of developing this infection. Conclusion: Finally, the results of various studies showed that the prevalence of T. vaginalis infection is higher in smokers than in non-smokers.

Background Youth population (10-24 years of age) comprises more than 30% of the total population in Nepal. This is the age when values are formed, many become sexually active and begin to develop a pattern of risky sexual behaviour. This makes youth more vulnerable to contacting sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS. The main objective of this study was to assess the sexual behavior among school youths of a rural far-western district, Achham, Nepal.Methods A cross sectional study was conducted among school youths aged 15 to 24 years studying at grade 11 and 12 in Achham district. Data were collected from February to April, 2011 using self-administered questionnaires from 229 boys and 156 girls of randomly selected eight higher secondary schools of the district.Results The study found that over a quarter of the respondents were sexually active before marriage, boys five times more compared to girls. More than one-fourth (28.2%) of sexually active young boys and girls were found to have engaged in multiple sexual relations; of which peers were the most common (71.1%) sexual partners. Overall, three out of every four sexually active school youths were found to have practised risky sexual behavior. The study found age of the respondent, gender, education and age at first sexual intercourse were significantly associated with the sexual behavior of the school youths.Conclusions Young people at schools were found to be engaged in unsafe sexual activities in study district. They were found initiating multiple sexual relations and pre-marital sexual relations. The use of condom was found declining in subsequent sexual contacts. Such risky sexual behaviours were putting the young population at more vulnerable to the risks of any sexually transmitted infections. Sex education would therefore be imperative to focus on sexual and reproductive health interventions targeted for the young people.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/hprospect.v12i2.9873 Health Prospect Vol.12(2) 2013: 37-41

This paper examines the minimum age requirement for marriage in Indonesian family law legislation in Indonesia historically. Determination of the minimum age for marriage in various countries is the result of ijtihad by considering the principle of physical and psychological maturity. In Indonesian marriage legislation sating that marriage is only permitted if the man reaches the age of 19 (nineteen) years and the woman has reached 16 (sixteen) years. Early marriage has several risks such as potential premature births, birth defects, maternal depression rates, maternal mortality rates, risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. Therefore, the authors strongly agree that the minimum age of marriage in Indonesia changed to 19 years

This study examined prevalence of HIV and sexually transmitted infections and the associations between substance use, socio-demographic factors and the prevalence of biologically-confirmed HIV and other sexually transmitted infections among a sample of 337 substance-using women recruited from community correction sites in New York City. Prevalence of HIV was 13% and sexually transmitted infections was 26% ( Chlamydia, trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea). After adjusting for covariates, HIV-positive women were 1.42 times more likely to use crack/cocaine than HIV-negative women (95% CI = 1.05–1.92). HIV-positive women were 25% less likely than HIV-negative women to report any unprotected vaginal and anal sex with their main partner (95% CI = 0.57–0.99). They were 70% less likely than HIV-negative women to report unprotected vaginal sex with a non-paying casual partner (95% CI = 0.1–0.9) and 22% less likely to report unprotected vaginal sex across all partners (95% CI = 0.61–0.99). Community corrections settings may be optimal venues to launch HIV/sexually transmitted infections prevention that have potential to reach and engage an ever-growing number of substance-using women.

The article dwells on analysing the main trends characterizing the sexual life of modern teenagers using the example of Ukrainian high school students. The authors present an overview of scientific approaches to the study of sexual life, in particular, sociological studies of the sexual behaviour of young people in the West and modern Ukraine. The paper draws attention to some of the consequences of the “sexual revolution” regarding the impact on sexual health (HIV/AIDS; sexually transmitted diseases; teenage abortions, sexual violence, etc.). The analysis of features inherent in the modern sexual behaviour of adolescents (frequency of sexual contacts; the number of sexual partners; age and gender characteristics of sexual behaviour of respondents) is based on the results of three representative sociological studies among schoolchildren in Kharkiv and Kharkiv region (1999 and 2013) and four regions of Ukraine (2021). Sociologists of V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University and the Sociological Association of Ukraine carried out these studies. Such characteristics of social behaviour as “age of sexual debut” and the dynamics of changes of this indicator were analyzed based on the data of Ukrainian and Western sociologists. Some negative consequences of early sexual life are described (sexual development disorders, mental disorders, sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted teenage pregnancies, teenage prostitution, etc.). Attention is paid to issues of systematic sexual education and sexual enlightenment of adolescents to preserve reproductive and sexual health. The authors analyze the role of parents, the educational process in school, and sexual education programs in the formation of safe sexual behaviour skills and a responsible attitude of adolescents to their health and the health of loved ones.

Full textAbstract:
Mycoplasmas are the smallest free-living organisms, widespread in nature. Several mycoplasma species have been isolated from humans. For 6 of them: Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, M. primatum, M. genitalium, M. spermatophilum and M. penetrans, the genital tract is the main site of colonization. This review is concentrated on the role of mycoplasmas as sexually transmitted agents, with the emphasis to M. genitalium infections. M. hominis and U. urealyticum are isolated from the genital tract of healthy men and women with considerable frequency. The biological features (attachment properties, possible intracellular location) and experimental inoculation studies of M. genitalium indicate that this mycoplasma has pathogenic potential. Data from case-control studies, looking at men with non-gonococcal urethritis and women with cervicitis, have revealed that M. genitalium behave similarly to Chlamydia trachomatis and have revealed that carriage of M. genitalium and C. trachomatis is usually independent of one another. M. genitalium could be considered as a potential cause of sexually transmitted urethritis in men, including men with persistent or recurrent urethritis. More studies are expected to ascertain the role of M. genitalium in the female genital tract. Evidence-based data are needed to decide whether current non-gonococcal infection treatment principles are applicable or not for M. genitalium infections.

Full textAbstract:
BACKGROUND: The death of bone tissue cells with impaired blood supply, followed by the development of secondary arthrosis/arthritis of the adjacent joint, is most characteristic of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. This condition is common in young patients mainly in men of working age. Hip arthroplasty at a young age has a high risk of loosening of the endoprosthesis components, which can lead to many repeated surgical interventions. In recent years, hypotheses about the possible role of infectious agents in articular pathology have been discussed, as evidenced by the detection of specific antibodies and antigens of pathogens in the joint fluid and periarticular tissues. Mycoplasmas can trigger the development of osteonecrosis because the bone marrow is the main depot and source of endogenous reinfection (when immunity is weakened).
АIM: This study aimed to identify signs of the presence of mycoplasmas in the soft tissues of the hip joint and bone marrow of the femur during hip arthroplasty in patients with idiopathic avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Clinical and laboratory data of 36 patients with idiopathic aseptic necrosis of the femoral head who underwent total hip arthroplasty were analyzed, and 11.1% of the patients had a history of sexually transmitted diseases. The tissues of the synovium and bone marrow were examined by polymerase chain reaction for the presence of DNA to sexually transmitted infections.
RESULTS: The average age of the patients was 42.7 years, and the average period from disease onset to the time of surgery was 46.2 months. Bilateral joint damage was found in 78% of cases, and 91.7% of the patients had stage 4 femoral head disease (ARCO). The preoperative Harris score was 33.7 points on average. In history, 4 (11.1%) patients had sexually transmitted diseases. During the study, when analyzing tissue samples of the synovial membrane and bone marrow, DNA fragments of Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Ureaplasma spp., and M. hominis were not isolated in any case, including in patients with previous mycoplasma and chlamydial infection.
CONCLUSION: The absence of mycoplasma suggests that a history of sexually transmitted diseases does not significantly affect the outcomes of hip arthroplasty in aseptic necrosis of the femoral head.

Aim: to disclose the perception of nurses working in family planning regarding the vulnerability to sexually transmitted infections (STI) of women who participated in this activity. Method: this is a descriptive and qualitative study that was carried out in a university hospital in Rio de Janeiro, involving nine nurses. Thematic content analysis was used. Results: nurses perceive women as vulnerable as a result of gender inequalities, manifested by their sole responsibility for protection against STIs and contraceptive measures, lack of partner follow-up, and blame of women for unwanted pregnancies. Male domination was attributed to the fact that man wanted to determine the type of protection and/or contraception that would be used in sexual intercourse. In addition, they expressed the difficulty of these women to negotiate safe sex, especially in stable relationships. Conclusion: ISTs are still considered "diseases of the other", influenced by gender inequalities. Traditional family planning actions are not sufficient for the use of preventive measures.

Full textAbstract:
This article highlights the actual problem of reproductive health in a married couple with a history of urogenital infections. The main trigger for the development of inflammation of the uterine adnexas is microbial invasion. In recent years, there have been significant changes in the etiological structure of inflammatory diseases of the reproductive system: the incidence of inflammatory diseases caused by the agents of the «second generation» – chlamydia, ureaplasmas, mycoplasmas, viruses significantly increased. The untimely and inadequate treatment of acute inflammatory processes of the internal genital organs, as well as the lack of their prevention explains the high incidence of chronic salpingoophoritis. Recently, give considerable attention to the study of the prevalence and role of viruses in the structure of sexually transmitted diseases. Today, inflammatory diseases of the urogenital sphere in men and women are the leading among the problems that have to deal with urologists, andrologists, gynecologists, reproductologists. This pathology is most common among patients of reproductive and working age. It has a negative effect on sexual function, ability to conceive, family relationships, social adaptation and efficiency. Marriage infertility is a worldwide prevalent pathology that is a significant personal, medical, biological, social and demographic problem of today. According to the latest data from the European Society for Human Reproductology and Embryology (ESHRE), about 1 million married couples suffer from infertility in Ukraine, ie 15–17%. The overview of current research summarizes the theoretical and statistical data of recent years. The modern ideas about the etiopathogenesis of male and female infertility, namely the effect of transmitted urogenital infections on the occurrence of disorders in the female and male genitourinary systems are considered. Accent is placed on the analysis of the problem of complications regarding further planned pregnancy in a couple who has a history of urogenital infections. Key words: reproductive health, urogenital infections, infertility, pregnancy, mixed infections, married couple, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Background: Contraceptive practices are the main tool we have in controlling the ever increasing population. It also has a huge role in preventing sexually transmitted infections. The present study was undertaken to find the knowledge, attitudes and practices of husbands accompanying patient at obstetrics clinics of a tertiary care center about contraception.Methods: The study population was 100 husbands accompanying patients at obstetrics clinics of a tertiary care center. A simple questionnaire of 26 questions regarding knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding contraception was provided to the consenting husbands. The results were then analyzed.Results: Vast majority have adequate knowledge about male contraception (93%), vasectomy (85%) and sexually transmitted diseases (72%). Most of the husbands do not have adequate knowledge about female contraception (only 59%) and emergency contraception (only 27%). 70% of the husbands do not know about the free contraceptives provided by the Government of India. A staggering 74% do not participate in effective contraception. Also, 77% agreed that they would remain contended with a single child.Conclusions: This cross-sectional study clearly shows that husbands accompanying patients at obstetrics clinic of a tertiary care center have adequate knowledge about male contraception, vasectomy and sexually transmitted diseases. It is worth noting that most of the husbands do not have adequate knowledge about female contraception, emergency contraception and free contraceptives provided by the Government of India. Very few couples participate in effective contraception despite wanting to adopt a small family norm. This is a pointer towards the ineffectiveness of the family planning program of our country.

Full textAbstract:
Chlamydia are obligate, intracellular, bacterial pathogens that cause three main diseases in humans worldwide: sexually transmitted disease (infertility and pelvic inflammatory disease), trachoma and respiratory infections. Rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) due to C. trachomatis are increasing (a 61% increase in notifications in Australia between 2003 and 2007) and the levels in Indigenous Australians continue to be unacceptably high: nearly five times higher than in non-Indigenous people. C. trachomatis also causes the ocular disease trachoma and, unfortunately, this condition continues to be common in Indigenous Australians, a situation that is unacceptable in a developed country. The other chlamydial species that infects humans is C. pneumoniae. While clinically less severe, the Australian Aboriginal population in the Top End have high rates of serologically diagnosed C. pneumoniae infection, which may contribute to the higher rates of respiratory disease observed in this group.
