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.

Abstract:

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:

Coinfections of sexually transmitted infections are frequent due to the same transmission routes which may facilitate the transmission of other sexually transmitted infections. Sexually transmitted coinfections are associated with atypical and generally more severe clinical features, more complications, resistency to treatment, unfavourable outcome, and worse prognosis. Sexually transmitted infections may increase the likelihood of acquiring and transmission of HIV infection. The authors summarize the most important characteristics of sexually transmitted infections (such as HIV and hepatitis B virus, HIV and hepatitis C virus, HIV and syphilis, HIV and gonorrhoeae, HIV and chlamydia coinfections). These infections are more frequent in HIV infected patients than in the normal population. The shared transmission routes, impairment of the immune response, elevated cytokine levels and the associated inflammatory milieu produce local tissue damage, breaches in mucosal epithelium, which increases the risk of human immunodeficiency virus infection. Regular screening for sexually transmitted infections, use of more sensitive diagnostic methods, improved reporting and avoidance of unsafe sexual behaviour among certain subpopulations as well as education are essential in the prevention of sexually transmitted coinfections.

Abstract:

Sexually transmitted infections are a group of diseases that include syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydial and mycoplasma infections, trichomoniasis, herpes and HPV infections of the genital organs. In addition, sexually transmitted human immunodeficiency virus, causing a disease called acquired immune deficiency syndrome. According to the World Health Organization, every year more than 340 million people aged 15-49 suffer from sexually transmitted infections worldwide. The basis for the prevention of the spread of sexually transmitted infections and infection with the human immunodeficiency virus should be considered the presence of internal moral attitudes. The motive for the start of sexual life should be your own conscious decision, and not pressure from a partner, fear of losing him, desire to please him and preserve the relationship. Despite the rather wide spread of sexually transmitted infections and the occurrence of infection with human immunodeficiency virus, the implementation of the simplest recommendations guarantees the safety of intimate life and preservation of health. A clear legal regulation of actions of a sexual nature, associated with the risk of infection or entailing infection with sexually transmitted infections, helps to curb their distribution. It is essential for maintaining the sexual health of people of young and mature age, which is an important resource of any country.

Abstract:

Sexually-transmitted infections are among the most well-known risk factors for HIV infection. The problem of combined diseases of STIs and HIV in infected people is represented by few works in the domestic scientific literature, therefore further study of this issue is required. Objective: to identify the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections in HIV-infected patients at the time of registration. Materials and methods. 49 clinical histories of patients with HIV infection were analyzed and studied at the Republican Center for the Prevention and Control of AIDS and Infectious Diseases of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Tatarstan. Results. STIs with the prevalence of urogenital chlamydia, ureaplasmosis and mycoplasmosis in the oligosymptomatic clinical course were registered in 63% of patients (predominantly women — 67% of cases) with HIV infection in the natural infectious process course. Patients with HIV infection and syphilis showed lower level of CD4 lymphocytes and high levels of HIV RNA viral load.

Abstract:

Abstract Sexually transmitted infections are infections that can be spread through vaginal, anal or oral. Female sex workers particularly at risk for sexually transmitted infections. Preliminary studies in Cilacap district STI clinic in 2011 showed that the incidence of sexually transmitted infections is still quite high (60.81%). Complex causal factors cause the difficulty of breaking the chain of IMS. This study aims to analyze the relationship between demographic factors and high-risk sexual behavior of high risk on the incidence of sexually transmitted infections and the risk factors on the incidence of sexually transmitted infections in female sex workers. Analytic survey research through case-control study (case-control) with a total sampling on 70 female sex workers in brothels Slarang conducted during the month of November 2013. Questionnaire as a means of collecting research data. Univariate analysis to determine the frequency distribution of incidence of STIs. Bivariate analysis using contingency coefficient test. Multivariate analysis using logistic regression. The results showed that there is a significant association between the incidence of STIs in high- risk demographic factors with r value (0.239) and p-value (0.040), there is a significant association between the incidence of STIs in high- risk sexual behavior factors with values â€‹â€‹of r (0.307; 0.230) and the p-value ( 0.007; 0.048) respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that condom use is not routine is that most risk factors on the incidence of sexually transmitted infections in female sex workers with OR value 5.835. Conclusions of the study: female sex workers who do not regularly use condoms have 5.835 times greater risk for sexually transmitted infections. A total of 65% the proportion of female sex workers suffer preventable sexually transmitted infection, if condom use.

Abstract:

The act of the prevention sexually transmitted infections disease is one of to reduce the spread of sexually transmitted to live a sex safety and health life style. According to A recent survey of beginning was conducted at Port Health Office of Medan in 2018, that knowledge and attitude of the crews still less about the use of contraseptives and the act of not doing a check health routinely. This study is an analitic research disign it is the cross section aimed analize ascertaining the knowledgeand attitudes of the prevention sexually transmitted infections disease. The population for this study were 254 crew. Samples were taken 72 crew. Data analysis is done by using chi-square with 95 % confidece level. The result of study revealed that there was a correlation of knowledge with the act of prevention sexually transmitted infection at Belawan port in 2019 (p=0,002<0,05), and there was a correlation of attitude with the act of prevention sexually transmitted infection at Belawan port in 2019 (p=0,000 <0,05) It was suggested that it is expected that Health Officer in Port Health Belawan will increase the socialization sexual transmitted infection disease, distribute brochurs or leaflet to crew member. It was also suggest to crew member that to increase knowledge and attitude regarding prevent of sexually transmitted infections, namely by attending counseling from port health officer, reading books and magazines related to sexually transmitted infections and through other media access so that prevention efforts are more optimal, so as to avoid themselves from contracting sexually transmitted infections. .

Abstract:

Many individuals remain sexually active into their eighth decade. Surveillance data suggest that rates of sexually transmitted infections in older patients are increasing. We compared demographics, risk behaviors, and predictors of acute infections in patients 50 years and older versus younger patients attending sexually transmitted disease clinics in Baltimore, Maryland. This was a retrospective study from a large electronic database of visits to two urban sexually transmitted disease clinics between 2005 and 2010. Proportions were compared using the Chi square test. Logistic regression was used to assess predictors of acute sexually transmitted infections in older versus younger groups. It was found that patients over 50 were more likely than younger patients to report never using condoms (32.6% [CI 0.31–0.34] versus 24.1% [CI 0.23–0.25]). The overall prevalence of acute sexually transmitted infections was 18.1% (CI 0.17–0.19) in older and 25.8% (CI 0.25–0.27) in younger patients. Older women were more likely to be diagnosed with trichomoniasis (21.5% [CI 18.6–24.5] versus 13.1% [CI 11.5–14.8]). Black race was predictive of having an acute sexually transmitted infections in younger men (OR 2.2 [CI 1.47–3.35]) and women (OR 2.7 [CI 1.34–5.30]) but not in older men (OR 1.2 [CI 0.79–1.73]) or women (OR 1.2 [CI 0.43–3.15]). Older age was associated with a decreased risk of acute STI diagnosis in younger men and older women only, while having had sex for money or drugs in the past month was predictive only in younger women. Reporting symptoms and increasing numbers of sexual partners in the last six months was predictive of acute sexually transmitted infection diagnosis in all age groups. Older patients seeking care at sexually transmitted disease clinics engage in important risk behaviors. Race, a factor predictive of acute sexually transmitted infections in younger patients is not a significant predictor of sexually transmitted infections in older persons.

ABSTRACTThis is about a descriptive exploratory study, from quantitative approach, aiming at analyzing the elderly’s knowledge about sexually transmitted infections at a Health Family Unit at Camaragibe, Pernambuco (PE) - Brazil. For data collection an interview form was applied, from October to December 2007, to 50 elderly women. The data were grouped into tables, analyzed and discussed according to literature. Among the main results, it was shown that 58,0% were 69 years old, 56,2% had the incomplete primary education, 70,3% were married and 43,3% had family income from one to two minimum salaries; 65,5% began the sex life in the adolescence, 56,3% with single partner, 83,3% had answered that had sex life active, and 51,4% no had sex life active, 33,3% had answered that they were virgin. Among that who had answered that had sex life active, 50,0% answered that the sexual partners never used condoms, 63,3% were not informed about sexually transmitted infections by professionals health; they knew HIV/aids 30,5%, syphilis 21,2% and HPV 19,9%; 55,3% knew about the transmission, and the sexual intercourses 81,8%, 57,1% about signs and symptoms at 61,8%; about means of prevention, with the cited condoms use 75,0%, 57,1% did not know about the symptoms and, 65,8% consequences; 47,0% reported has been used the television and radio as means for obtaining knowledge. Given those results, proved that the elderly are vulnerable to the risks of sexually transmitted infections. Descriptors: older; knowledge; sexually transmitted infections.RESUMOEstudo descritivo exploratório, de abordagem quantitativa, com objetivo de analisar o conhecimento de idosas sobre infecções sexualmente transmissíveis em uma Unidade de Saúde da Família de Camaragibe, Pernambuco (PE) - Brasil.

Abstract:

Introduction. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are major global public health problems. Present strategies for prevention have limitations. Vaccines are an attractive addition to the current prevention armamentarium because they provide durable protection and do not require repetitive adherence to be effective. Challenges for vaccination include induction and long-term maintaince of mucosal immune responses in the female genital tract. Vaccines: a realistic goal?. For the time being, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recommended only hepatitis and HPV immunization to be routinely offered. Final, III stage trials are underway on other prophylactic vaccines for human papillomavirus and genital herpes. Though vaccines against Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae are in early stages of development they do offer the hope of preventing pelvic inflammations. The high incidence of HIV-infection for which a vaccine would not be readily available, 'cries out' for an effective vaccine. Vaccines for HPV infections. According to a recent meta-analysis of worldwide prevalence data, vaccinating with HPV-16/18 VLP against HPV-16 and HPV-18 could prevent over 70% of invasive cervical cancer worldwide. The latest release of data from the phase III trial of a quadrivalent recombinant non-infectious vaccine HPV-6/11/ 16/18 L1 VLP, including HPV types 6,11,16,18 have given complete protection against HPV-16/18-related cervical intraepithelial neoplasias 1, 2/3, and adenocarcinoma in situ and cancer through 2 years of post-vaccination follow up. Conclusion. Despite the fact that the development of vaccines for STI prevention was rather slow in the past, the ideal vaccine would decrease transmission of the infection between partners and would prevent complications of disease. Moreover, in future decades, increasingly successful universal vaccination of newborns and children will substantially reduce the need for vaccination of persons with specific risk factors, including sexual risk.

Abstract:

Introduction: The effective management of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) consists not only of antimicrobial therapy to receive treatment and reduce infectivity, but also in the overall attention and care for the patient’s reproductive and sexual health. In July 2019, the WHO called for a concerted effort to ensure access to the services needed to prevent and treat these diseases to everyone and everywhere. Objective: to study and present European policies and the Bulgarian present situation as a basis for building effective, evidence-based interventions and services for the STIs spectrum with emphasis on syphilis to support the achievement of the WHO strategic goals. Material and methods: in this study we applied the documentary method: a review of official strategies, reports, articles on the discussed topic. Results: a review of European and national policies and practices were presented and discussed with emphasis on syphilis. Social, ethical, economic dimensions of the STIs spectrum management were discussed on a national level in order to support the achievement of WHO strategic goals. Conclusions: The presented review provides a good opportunity to define the priority issues related to the management of the spectrum of sexually transmitted infections for evidence-based health policy ideas, research, will and decisions in Bulgaria.

Abstract:

Sexually transmitted infections are an important public health issue. The purpose of this study is to analyse the association between different sexual habits and the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections in the population of Granada who consult with a specialised centre. An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted based on the medical records of 678 people from the Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Sexual Orientation Centre of Granada, who were diagnosed positively or negatively with a sexually transmitted infection, during the 2000−2014 period. Sociodemographic and clinical data, as well as data on frequency and type of sexual habits, frequency of condom use and sexually transmitted infection positive or negative diagnosis were collected. Univariate and bivariate analyses were conducted. The most popular sexual habits were vaginal intercourse, oral sex (mouth–vagina and mouth–penis) and the least popular were anus–mouth and anal sex. The use of condom is frequent in vaginal and anal sex and less frequent in oral sex. Sexually transmitted infection is associated with mouth–penis (p = 0.004) and mouth–vagina (p = 0.023) oral sex and anal sex (p = 0.031). It is observed that there is a relationship between the presence of STIs and oral sex practices, people having such practices being the ones who use condoms less frequently. There is also a relationship between anal sex and the prevalence of STIs, although in such sexual practice the use of condom does prevail.

Abstract:

Background The burden of sexually transmitted infections is huge and is disproportionately affecting developing nations. In Nepal, recent available data on sexually transmitted infections are mostly targeted to high risk population. A prevalence study was thus done to explore the pattern of sexually transmitted infection syndromes among general population of Nepal. Objectives To highlight the prevalence and changing pattern of sexually transmitted infections among general population. Methods A retrospective study. The study was conducted among 145 patients attending Department of Dermatology and Venerology, Dhulikhel Hospital Kathmandu University Hospital, for voluntary counseling and testing from April 2010 to April 2011. Syndromic case management approach was used for the classification and treatment of the patients. Results 106 patients were suffering from Sexually Transmitted Infections and 2 patients were positive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. The most common diagnosis was genital viral infections (41.7%). Prevalence was highest among drivers/conductors (26.9%) and migrating workers (23.1%). Age group 20 to 24 years was the maximum sufferers (37%). Unsafe sexual activity (66.7%) was the most potential exposure and majority of the patients were not consistent in using condom. Conclusions Genital viral infections constitute the major bulk of sexually transmitted infections. Majority of the patients suffering from sexually transmitted infections were in the age group 20 to 24 years and were mostly drivers, conductors or migrating workers by occupation. In the background of few available baseline data, the results are expected to assist successful target interventions in the near future.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/kumj.v9i2.6287 Kathmandu Univ Med J 2011;9(2):44-8
