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.

Background. The debate on whether participation in sports enhances or curtails risky sexual behavior among athletes continues. The purpose of the study was to establish the sexual behavior patterns and associated high risks among University student-athletes. Methods. A cross-sectional survey research design was used to collect self-report data on sexual behaviors from university student-athletes (n = 151) who participated in a University sports tournament. Descriptive statistics of frequencies and proportions and inferential statistics of chi-square test of independent measures were used to analyze the data. Majority (65%) of the student-athletes were taking part in Ball games and Racket games (13.9%). Results. About a third (33%) of the student-athletes had their first sexual debut while aged between 18 and 20 years, 60% had regular sexual partners, over 30% had more than one sexual partner and 67% would have sexual intercourse with strangers; only 58% of these would seek the sexual history of the strangers. More than half (55%) of the student-athletes frequently used condoms to prevent pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, but only 39% of them always used condoms with their sexual partners in the last six months. The participants’ sexual behaviors differed significantly (p < .05) by their gender. Males tended to start having sexual intercourse earlier (p < .002), had more than one sexual partner (p < 0.001) and would always use condoms (p < .001) than females, but more females than males would have sexual intercourse with a stranger (p < .001). Conclusions. Kenyan University student-athletes are sexually active and are faced with high risk sexual behaviors like multiple sexual partners and sexual intercourse with strangers. The difference in patterns of sexual behavior between male and female student-athletes calls for gender specific interventions by programmers, policy makers and health workers. Keywords:  sexual behaviors, student-athletes, sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s).

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are common in HIV-infected patients. Education and counseling on changes in sexual behaviors of patients with STDs and their sexual partners, identification of asymptomatic infection, and effective diagnosis and treatment are the cornerstone for prevention. HIV-infected patients with syphilis should have a detailed neurologic examination. Penicillin is the treatment of choice for syphilis. Gonococcal infection is an important cause of urethritis, cervicitis, pharyngitis, and proctitis in HIV-infected sexually active patients. Dual therapy for gonorrhea and chlamydia is recommended. Most Chlamydia trachomatis infections are asymptomatic and thus detected only by routine, periodic screening. Human papillomavirus is the most common STD in the United States.
