Abstract:
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) other than HIV have reappeared as an important public health problem in developed countries (1). In the late 1970s and early 1980s, research and treatment of the 'classic' STIs - gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia - were a major focus of infectious diseases practice and research. There were large outbreaks of syphilis in parts of Canada (2), penicillin-resistantNeisseria gonorrhoeaewas a concern (3), and high rates ofChlamydia trachomatisinfection with complications of pelvic inflammatory disease and ectopic pregnancy were being reported (4,5). Then, HIV infection emerged, with its spectre of a wasting, early death. There was no effective treatment, and safe sexual practices were embraced and adhered to by high-risk populations as the only effective way to avoid infection. These practices effectively prevented other STIs; rates of syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia infection plummeted in developed countries (5). For at least a decade, it appeared that HIV might be an end to all STIs, at least for some parts of the world. STIs continued unabated in developing countries, as many epidemiological and therapeutic studies explored the association of STIs with HIV infection.

Objectives: This study aimed to uncover the trend regarding knowledge aboutsexually transmitted infections (STIs) among Pakistani women of reproductive age 15-49 as wellas evaluating the socio demographic differentials associated with STIs knowledge. Design:The secondary data sets are used of Pakistan demographic and health survey (PDHS) of evermarried women with sample size 10023and 13558.Period: PDHS 2006-07 and PDHS 2012-13.Setting: The national institute of population studies done this survey with the technical supportfrom ICF International and Pakistan bureau of statistics and the USAID supported the financially.Methods: Descriptive frame work along withbivariate analysis was performed to understandthe trend regarding STIs knowledge and evaluate the significant socio demographic factorsrespectively. Results: The awareness regarding STIs and knowledge to use always condomduring sex to reduce the risk of getting HIV/AIDSafter equating the two PDHS has improvedover time just by 3.85% and 6.50% respectively in PDHS-2012-13 compared to PDHS 2006-07.Early age group (15-19) women have sufficient lack of knowledge about STIs. Urban has moreknowledge regarding STIs compared to rural. Education, wealth index and media awarenesshave positive association with STIs knowledge. Conclusions: Socio demographic differentialssuch as age, education, location and geographical area of residence, media access, wealthindex and women occupation are found to be statistically highly significant with respect tosexually transmitted infections knowledge. These statistical outcomes will enhance thecapability in disease management and control.

Abstract:
The national reported rates of sexually transmitted infections (other than HIV/AIDS) in Ireland have been increasing over the last decade of the 20th century. Medical professionals and epidemiologists consider the rates of STIs as indicators of the proportion of the population engaging in 'high risk' behaviour. According to this hypothesis, an increase in reported rates reflects an increase in 'high risk' behaviours. This thesis will examine this relationship and determine the reasons for the increased reported rates in Ireland. This will involve an investigation into Irish sexual behaviours and attitudes, thus giving an insight into Irish sexuality, which has previously attracted little sociological interest. Evidence in regard to Irish sexuality and sexually transmitted infections is limited. In the absence of longitudinal data on sexual behaviours and a national survey on STIs and risk-taking sexual behaviours, the question of the rising rates has to be addressed by collating available data from different sources. This involves: (1) the use of epidemiological and GUM clinics' information, (2) a socio-historical account of Irish sexuality and sexually transmitted infections and (3) a comparative analysis of Irish sexual behaviours and attitudes with four other countries utilising the International Social Survey Programme's 1994 dataset, Family and Changing Gender Roles II. It is concluded that the increasing reporting rates of STIs are not being directly caused by accompanying increases of 'high risk' sexual behaviours in the general population but are produced by a number of factors including a growing public openness about sexuality and sexual health awareness.

Abstract:
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have important consequences for individuals and society. Extensive literature has shown that various individual factors impact STIs. However, much less is known about their structural causes and how they affect sexual behavior and sexual network formation. In the first two chapters of this dissertation, I investigate how sex ratios and ethnic divisions affect sexual activity and the spread of STIs. In the third chapter, I analyze the effect of ethnic-based romantic homophily on STIs. I provide a brief description of each chapter below. Chapter 1. We extend a theory of fidelity in a two-sided economy, and empirically discriminate between different rationales of sexual network formation by testing their implications for how sex ratios affect sexual activity, relationship stability, and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases in men versus women. We use a unique individual-level dataset in combination with census data from England and Wales, a setting where adult women outnumber adult men. Exploiting variation in cohort/ethnicity/region-specific sex ratios as a quasi-natural experiment, we find that a decrease in sex ratio imbalance decreases sexual infidelity and the number of serial partners, and increases the likelihood of safe sex. This in turn reduces the likelihood of acquiring a range of sexually transmitted infections and diseases, including chlamydia, gonorrhoea, genital warts, and herpes. Consistent with the rationale underlying the formation of egalitarian (in)fidelity networks, the effects of the sex ratio on sexual activity are larger for men compared to women, while its effects on sexual diseases are larger for women compared to men. The causality of these effects is established using classical and recent instrumental variables approaches and various robustness checks. For falsification, we show that sex ratios have no impact on several "atheoretical" health conditions, such as Parkinson's disease, chronic lung disease, heart attack, stroke, and diabetes, which do not arise from sexual interactions. Chapter 2. In societies organized around distinct racial and ethnic groups, limited communication between these groups might increase the search cost of sexual partners outside of own group, leading to racially segregated sexual networks and low risks of sexually transmitted diseases. At the same time, because sexual infidelity is more likely to be discovered when the cheated-upon individuals are co-ethnics, individuals in multiracial societies might find it cheaper to select sexual partners from diverse ethnic groups to hide their infidelity, which would lead to large interethnic sexual networks and high risks of STIs. We test these conflicting hypotheses by analyzing the causal effect of neighborhood-level racial diversity on sexual activity and STIs, using unique individual-level data from England, Wales, and Scotland. We find that individuals residing in multiracial neighborhoods have a greater number of sexual partners and are more likely to be infected with a wide range of STIs than their counterparts residing in more racially homogeneous neighborhoods. We use traditional and new instrumental variables approaches and various robustness checks to establish causation. Analyzing mechanisms, we find that within racially diverse neighborhoods, individuals who select sexual partners from diverse racial groups are more likely to be infected with STIs, holding the number of partners and other individual characteristics fixed. For falsification, we conduct a reverse-placebo test showing that racial diversity has no effect on a wide range of health conditions that do not arise from sexual interactions. From a policy perspective, our analysis implies that policies that promote racial and ethnic integration are likely to reduce unhealthy sexual activity and the spread of STIs in racially heterogeneous societies. Chapter 3. A classical hypothesis in social network theory holds that central individuals are more likely to receive and spread information than are their peripheral counterparts. We test this hypothesis in the context of sexual networks and sexually transmitted diseases, using data from the United Kingdom. Romantic homophily - the tendency to select sexual partners with similar ethnic background - is used as a measure of the extent to which an individual is peripheral in a sexual network. We find that more sexually homophilous individuals have a lower risk of sexual infections. This effect is causal, and larger for women, Whites, and heterosexuals.

Abstract:
Presently, clinical management of sexually transmitted infection (STI) is performed empirically, in the absence of microbiological diagnosis and consequentially the use of suboptimal antimicrobial therapy. Current diagnostic methodologies cannot facilitate the polymicrobial detection required to identify the potential multiple organisms that contribute to STI's. In order to meet this requirement a PCR coupled micro array capable of detecting the presence or absence of 23 organisms relevant to STI was developed and evaluated. This method was applied to explore the differential organism prevalence in 129 first void urine specimens in patients of varying symptomology, revealing the absence of Lactobacilli may be associated with urethritis. Findings of this study also documented the inadequacy of Gram stained urethral smear (GSUS) for identification and stratification of urethritis cases. Performance of rapid automated urine flow cytometric (AUFC) of urinary white cell count (UWCC) as a potential replacement for GSUS was validated in a separate study of male clinic attendees (n=436). UWCC testing demonstrated significantly enhanced specificity when compared to GSUS; universal application of this method would have significantly improved identification of urethritis cases at the point of care. The degree of urethral inflammation implied by UWCC analysis exhibited a stronger association with pathogen load of Mycoplasma genitalium when compared to Chlamydia trachomatis. A notably high prevalence of azithromycin resistant M. genitalium infection was observed amongst study participants; subsequent phylogenetic analysis implied this finding was applicable beyond this patient population. The findings of this thesis contribute new approaches to tackling the inadequacies of current empirical approaches to STI management. Modification of treatment guidelines in light of these findings and adoption of UWCC testing may improve treatment efficacy and enhance detection of nongonococcal urethritis and related syndromes. Results observed also provide an insight into the pathogenic mechanisms of different STI organisms in relation to host inflammatory responses.

Abstract:
Variations in the incidence and prevalence of diagnosed sexually transmitted infections (STIs) across racial and ethnic groups have been described in many western industrialised settings. The reasons for these variations are unclear. However, an understanding of their determinants is required in order to develop and refine targeted HIV/STI prevention interventions. This thesis brings together a collection of studies exploring the relationship between ethnicity and the epidemiology of STIs (including HIV infection). It is divided into three main sections. Section one outlines the aims and objectives of the thesis explores concepts of race and ethnicity provides an historical and demographic overview of Black and ethnic minority communities in Britain and critically reviews and summarises the research evidence in this field. Section two outlines the rationale, methodology and outcomes of four studies developed to explore and quantify the nature and range of ethnic variations in sexual health outcomes in Britain. The concluding section summarises key themes arising from this work and relates findings back to set objectives. This thesis confirms the existence of variations in the prevalence of diagnosed STIs among Britain's main ethnic groups. The inequalities are found across a variety of settings, for both reported and prevalent diagnosed infections. Compared with the ethnic majority, adverse sexual health outcomes are more prevalent among Black British ethnic groups, and less so among Indians and Pakistanis. The collated studies confirm that ethnic differences in the prevalence and distribution of high-risk behaviours exist (particularly among men) and may, to a large extent, explain the variations in adverse outcomes. However, behaviour alone cannot account for the observed differences. Other factors, including patterns of health-seeking behaviour, genetic susceptibility, patterns of sexual mixing and background prevalence of disease also contribute, to the observed variations in incidence. Recommendations for future studies and interventions in this field are made.

Abstract:
Introduction: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a serious health care problem, with an estimated annual incidence of 357 million cases by the World Health Organization (WHO). It is important to recognize that young adults are responsible for more than half of all STI cases. Objective: The aim of this review was to determine the general knowledge of university students about STI. Methods: A literature review was conducted to identify knowledge studies of undergraduate students about STI. The electronic database MEDLINE was searched for articles published in the past 5 years, using the following MeSH terms: “Sexually Transmitted Diseases,” “Knowledge,” “University,” and “Students.” Studies’ titles and abstracts were screened for eligibility and relevant articles were read in full and included in the review. Results: A total of nine articles were selected for the final analysis. When compared to other courses, health students had higher rates of knowledge and showed more correct answers to the questions about STI than students from other courses. For some students, the consciousness acquired at the university acted as a protection factor to avoid risky sexual behavior. In contrast, in one study, only 13% of the students declared feeling they had enough knowledge to avoid getting infected. The source of knowledge may vary. Concerning a Chinese study, students declared their knowledge about STI was obtained mainly at school. HIV was the best known STI, although 90% of the participants in one study were unaware that an infected person might not have any symptoms. Comparisons between sex and age evidenced knowledge variation in some studies. Conclusion: The average of knowledge level about STI among university students varies between 30% and 60% in the analyzed studies. HIV/AIDS was the best known STI and this result shows the need for emphasizing other STI information among university students.

Microbicides may provide a physical barrier amplifying the normal vaginal defense, as well as destroy the pathogens chemically or inhibit viral infection. The microbicide may consist of an anti-HIV active agent in some delivery vehicle, such as a gel, cream or foam. Microbicides are a promising solution to provide a low-cost, female-controlled method for protection against HIV and other sexually transmitted pathogens.

Full text
Abstract:
A critical review of current epidemiological trends and social science research demonstrates that there is an urgent need for expanding the range of female-controlled HIV prevention methods. Existing efforts to control the spread of HIV infection primarily through the encouragement of a reduction in the number of sexual partners, widespread condom promotion, and the control of other sexually transmitted infections are inadequate for many of the world's women. Underlying gender power inequities severely limit the ability of many women to protect themselves from HIV infection, especially in the absence of a prevention technology they can use, when necessary, without their partner's consent. Current understanding of biology suggests that developing such methods is a feasible and potentially cost-effective endeavor. This paper describes the growing risk of HIV infection faced by women throughout the world, examines the limitation of contemporary AIDS prevention strategy in meeting the needs of women, reviews the existing data on female-controlled HIV prevention methods, and outlines the challenges for future microbicide development.

Foreit, James R. Postabortion family planning benefits clients and providers. Population Council, 2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh16.1006.

Full text
Abstract:
A woman’s fertility can return quickly following an abortion or miscarriage, yet recent data show high levels of unmet need for family planning (FP) among women who have been treated for incomplete abortion. This leaves many women at risk of another unintended pregnancy and in some cases subsequent repeated abortions and abortion-related complications. It is thus vital for programs to provide a comprehensive package of postabortion care (PAC) services that includes medical treatment, FP counseling and services, and other reproductive health services such as evaluation and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, HIV counseling and/or testing, and community support and mobilization. Providing FP services within PAC benefits clients and programs. Facilities that can effectively treat women with incomplete abortions can also provide contraceptive services, including counseling and appropriate methods. As stated in this brief, any provider who can treat incomplete abortion can also provide selected FP methods. Clients, providers, and programs benefit when FP methods are provided to postabortion clients at the time of treatment.

Abstract:
We examine the role of Venezuelan forced migration on the propagation of 15 infectious dis-eases in Colombia. For this purpose, we use rich municipal-monthly panel data. We exploit the fact that municipalities closer to the main migration entry points have a disproportionate ex-posure to infected migrants when the cumulative migration flows increase. We find that higher refugee inflows are associated with increments in the incidence of vaccine-preventable dis-eases, such as chickenpox and tuberculosis, as well as sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS and syphilis. However, we find no significant effects of migration on the propagation of vector-borne diseases. Contact with infected migrants upon arrival seems to be the main driving mechanism.

Full text
Abstract:
Traditional healers are important healthcare providers in a number of societies for a variety of healthcare concerns, including sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and HIV. However, some traditional healing practices are risk factors for HIV infection, such as male circumcision using unsterilized equipment. The provision of training for traditional healers about STDs, HIV and evidence based medicine is seen as a way to improve their knowledge, reduce risk behaviours, and improve acceptance of and collaboration with formal health services. Training could also increase referrals to the formal health services.

Abstract:
A growing body of scientific publications suggests that male circumcision is associated with reduced risk of HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa. Thus, male circumcision is being considered as a potential intervention in the prevention of sexually transmitted HIV infection, even though this procedure has profound cultural implications and carries the risk of complications, and its benefits are realized only many years later. This report presents the findings of a meeting of international researchers, organized by the Horizons Project to explore the programmatic and research implications of the association between male circumcision and HIV prevention. Most studies on male circumcision and HIV infection have been done in Africa, and the discussion focuses largely on this continent. The conclusions and recommendations from the meeting, however, may be relevant for other parts of the world. Based on the discussion, participants determined that there is considerable evidence supporting a protective effect of male circumcision on HIV infection in men in sub-Saharan Africa. Participants also concluded that there are many unknowns.
