ABSTRACTIn 2005 the WHO declared as many as 457 million people worldwide were affected by sexually transmitted infections. Transvestite is one of a high-risk group for contracting STIs and HIV. STI prevalence is still high on tranvestite, this is due to the use of condoms is still low and this can trigger the occurrence of STI. This study aimed to look at sexual behavior risk of transvestites, includes knowledge and attitudes related to the incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) on transvestites in Sidoarjo. This research used analytic study design in which the type of research is a case control. Respondents in the research were transvestites within the range of KPA Sidoarjo, as many as 54 people who were divided into two groups: 18 in cases group and 36 in control group. Age of the respondents from both groups were the same. >40 years, the highest educational level in case group was senior high school and for the control group was high school junior, both groups had the same marital status which was not married, the occupation mostly in the case group was sex workers and as beauty shop workers in the control group, lenght of time been being transvestite on case group vary for 1-12 years and 13-24 years in the control group. There was a relationship between knowledge of the incidence of STIs in transgender (p = 0.007) p < α. There was a relationship between the attitude of the incidence of STIs in transgender (p = 0.001) p < α.Keyword: transvestite, Sexual Transmitted Disease, risk behaviour, knowledge, attitude

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.

Epidemiological Profile

Background: Venereophobia is fear of getting sexually transmitted disease after first or repeated unprotected sexual activities with unsafe or safe partners. This study aims to study the epidemiological profile, varying clinical presentations and spectrum of psychiatric diagnoses among venereophobia patients Methods: A cross-sectional, prospective and observational study was conducted among 72 consecutive patients of venereophobia. Patients with symptoms of fear of sexually transmitted infections were evaluated with relevant history and genital examination. Additionally psychiatric evaluation was done for associated diagnoses. Patients with symptoms and clinical signs of sexually transmitted infections were excluded from the study. Results: A total of 68 male and 4 females presented with the symptoms. The mean age of presentation was 25.85±5.15 years. Most of them were either servicemen (38.8%) followed by students (23.6%). After a mean time of 11±10.44 days of sexual activity, patients developed symptoms. Common presentations were genital papules (25%), slough (22.2%) and genital itchy sensation (15.3%). A total of 23(33.8%) patients visited to commercial sex workers with mean spells of visiting 3.2±2.67 times. Factors as regular use of condom and knowledge of overall STI was lacking; while self investigation and multiple doctor visit was common. Pearly penile papule 18(25%) was the commonest diagnosis made on clinical examination. A total of 43 (59.7%) cases were diagnosed with psychiatric conditions, most common being anxiety neurosis (58.1%). Conclusions: Venereophobia was commonly found to be associated with psychiatric illnesses. A proper anamnesis, genital and psychiatric evaluation of this common entity may prevent misdiagnosis and associated complications. Keywords: Phobia; sexually transmitted infections; venereal

Past studies that have designed interventions to reduce the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have typically provided onsite treatment to sex workers who tested positive, which were expensive and difficult to implement. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of an intervention which tested for STIs and provided information on the closest treatment facility on reducing the prevalence of STIs among female brothel-based sex workers (BSWs) in Bangladesh. The study adopted a pre–post interventional design as well as a randomized controlled study design. A baseline sample and follow-up urine sample were collected to evaluate the prevalence of STIs among participants in the treatment, but not control group. A baseline survey and interviews were also conducted for both the groups. The study found a nonsignificant reduction from baseline to follow-up in STI prevalence among intervention participants (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.38, 1.45). However, the participants in the intervention group were significantly more likely to have a repeat client (aOR: 1.60; 95% CI: 1.12, 2.29) and nonsignificantly less likely to engage with a client suspected of having an STI (aOR: 0.62; 95% CI: 0.39, 1.00) than participants in the control group. The intervention testing of STIs and providing information to the positive cases about nearest treatment facilities were not effective in reducing the prevalence of STIs among BSWs. Further study of the clinical and behavioral impacts of such efforts to reduce STIs among BSWs is warranted.

Objective: To identify the correlation between sexually transmitted infection and cervical precancerous lesion. Method: The study design is cross‐sectional. Samples were collected by consecutive sampling method until the minimal amount was fulfilled. This study was conducted in the Colposcopy Outpatient Clinic and Cytology Laboratory, Division of Specialistic Gynecology, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM), Jakarta, from September 2008 to March 2009. Laboratory examination for sexually transmitted infection (STI) was performed in Department of Dermatovenereology, RSCM, Jakarta. Patients were grouped into cases and control group. The case group consisted of patients diagnosed with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and the control group consisted of patients without CIN. Sexually transmitted infection was identified and its relationship to CIN was analyzed. Result: We included 130 patients into this study, 25.38% without CIN and 74.62% with CIN. We found that one patient can be infected by up to five types of infection at a time. We also discovered a statistically significant relation between CIN 1 and STI (p=0.028), CIN 2 and STI (p=0.007), and CIN 3 and STI (p=0.013). Conclusion: Based on our study, we discovered a significant relationship between the incidence of STI and CIN.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis is a directly 'transmitted disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, Besides home environment sanitation factor, Pulmonary Tuberculosis occurence is alo related to behavior. Based on an observation conducted to the people behavior in Wonoayu District, those disobeying Pulmonary Tuberculosis healing make Pulmonary Tuberculosis bacteria resistant in the body.Paople behavior contributes in Pulmonary Tuberculosis spreading and failure in complete healing, so in each year there are always new cases recorded. The aim of this study is to find out the behavior factor running the risk of Pulmonary Tuberculosis in the working area of Wonoayu Health Center in 2013.This study was case control analytical study. The object of this sytudy was all patients of positive ARB (Acid Resistant Bacillus) Pulmonary Tuberculosis until april 2013 and the control was the neighbors living around the patients house certified not suffering from positive ARB Pulmonary Tuberculosis the workinq area of Wonoayu Health Center, respectively for 13 persons.From the study, it was obtained that most of case group of s 50 year old respondents (53,8%), male(76,9%), having occupation with high risk (76,9%), graduated from Senior High Schooll Vocational High Schoo (38,5%), earning < lOR 1.720.000 (76,9%), with insuffcient knowledge (53,8%), well behaving(53,8%) and having insuffcient action (53,8%). While the control group was S 50 year old respondents (76,9%), male (53.,8%), having occupation with high risk (53,8%), graduated from Junior High School and Senior High SchoolNocational High School (38,5%), earning < lOR 1.720.000 (76,9%), with good knowledge (69,2%),well behaving (76,9%) and having insuffcient action (69,2%). Based on Odds Ratio calculation, those with insuffcient knowledge had 2,6 times of more risk to be suffered from Pulmonary Tuberculosis disease than those with good knowledge. Those with less behavior had 2,8 times of more risk to be suffered from Pulmonary Tuberculosis than those with good behavior. Those with insuffcient action had 2,6 times of more risk to be suffered from Pulmonary Tuberculosis than those with good action. It is recommended to the Wonoayu Health Center to conduct instigations to increase the knowledge, the Pulmonary Tuberculosis patient to get medical treatment until being completely healed (it is a very important affort), and not to spit anywhere.

Abstract Objectives: to investigate the information received by pregnant women considering assistance care and educational factors on syphilis and its association with the diagnostic of congenital syphilis in a referral maternity. Methods: a case-control study conducted in a referral maternity in Minas Gerais, Brazil, from 2017 to 2018. A case group included newborns’ mothers with presumptive congenital syphilis and A control group was considered healthy newborns ’ mothers. Clinical, obstetrics variables and information about maternal educational approach on syphilis during prenatal care were obtained through interviews and medical records. Descriptive and comparative analyses were performed. Chi-square or Fisher's exact test and odds ratio were calculated followed by multivariate logistic regression. Results: sixty mothers were included in the case group and 120 mothers in the control group. Mothers in the case group presented lower schooling level and they were 24 times more likely to have information about the risks of congenital syphilis and five times more likely to had received previous treatment for syphilis and mothers in the control group were 10 times more likely to receive information about Sexually Transmitted Infections during prenatal care. Conclusion: adequate health assistance identifying previous history of syphilis and health education improving its information about Sexually Transmitted Infections can help prevent congenital syphilis, which indicates the necessity of a better approach by the professionals during prenatal care.

Few studies have examined the association between methamphetamine (MA) abuse and sexually transmitted infection (STI) risk among heterosexual male MA users in China. A total of 288 heterosexual male MA users who met our inclusion criteria were recruited from nightclubs, KTVs, bars, bath centres and an STI clinic. STIs were screened among the participants, and the risk factors related to STIs were analysed by multivariate logistic regression in SPSS 11.0. Among the 288 heterosexual male MA users, 51 (17.7%) had syphilis, 36 (12.5%) had genital warts, 2 (0.7%) had genital herpes, 3 (1.0%) had HIV infection and 41 (14.2%) had urethritis. STIs were associated with the following variates: ‘MA has the function of anti-inebriation’ (OR = 2.522, 95%CI = 1.337–4.756), ‘I am addicted to MA’ (OR = 4.030, 95%CI = 2.194–7.401), ‘It occurred to me to abstain from MA’ (OR = 2.939, 95%CI = 1.246–6.934), ‘Years of MA abuse’ (OR = 2.622, 95%CI = 1.318–5.215), ‘Times of MA abuse per week’ (OR = 5.275, 95%CI = 1.988–14.002), ‘Number of persons using MA together’ (OR = 2.579, 95%CI = 1.246–5.340) and ‘Number of female sex workers as sex partners per MA abuse’ (OR = 4.004, 95%CI = 1.526–10.508). Our findings show that MA users belong to the high-risk group for STI in China. STIs, except for HIV, have spread widely among heterosexual male MA users. Thus, specific interventions must be conducted to prevent the spread of STIs in this population in China.
