The study assessed the epidemiology of Trichomonas vaginalis among 200 pregnant women aged between 15-45 years attending antenatal care in three private hospitals in Idiroko, Ipokia Local Government Area of Ogun State, Nigeria. Direct wet mount microscopy and culture were used on High Vaginal swabs collected from the consented participants after the administration of questionnaire to collect their knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) with regard to the Trichomoniasis. The educational profile showed that 23% had primary education while 60% had secondary education. Age group between 15-25years 174(67%) of the participants were traders. 30(15%) Prevalence were positive for Trichomonas from wet mount microscopy method while no positive was recorded in the cultures. There was a statistical difference between number of sexual partners, occupation, family type and previous sexually transmitted infection. 114(57%) of respondents have not heard of sexually transmitted disease while 173(86%) of respondents were not aware that Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease. The result from this study indicate that trichomoniasis is still a public health problem in Nigeria and little have been done for its control. The risk factors of this disease includes age group, number of sexual partners, trimester and occupation.

High risk sexually transmitted disease (STD)/human immunodeficiency virus (HfV) transmission behaviour appears to be the norm, not the exception, for most adolescents. The perception of STD/HIV risk and actual risk do not always match. The major motivating factor for condom use evident in adolescents was fear of pregnancy, not fear of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome or STDs. Other factors influencing decreased condom use included: embarrassment about buying condoms: difficulty discussing condoms with a prospective partner; use of oral contraceptives; belief that condoms interfere with sexual pleasure; low HIV knowledge; and, for women, a large number of sexual partners. Overall. females reported having had more STDs than males. Prostitutes, both male and female, reported the highest rates (45% and 68%, respectively). Of the street youths studied, 16% reported having at least one prior STD diagnosis, compared to 9% of school dropouts and 5% of first year college students. The number of sexual partners and participation in anal intercourse strongly inlluenced the reported STD rate for street youths. STD/HIV risk reduction educational programs must be targeted and adapted to the cultural and social needs and resources of the different adolescent groups, particularly street youth, who are clearly a 'core' group for adolescent STD.

Kata Kunci: Kejadian, IMS, karakteristik, cross sectional retrospektif     ABSTRACT Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)  are transmitted infections mainly through sexual contact. In Indonesia, the number of STI cases in 2014 reached 5608 cases. The Bali Provincial Health Service recorded 9,202 STI patients found in 2013. This number increased by 62.17% in 2014 and decreased by 61.82% in 2015. Data obtained from the Denpasar City Health Office showed that of all cases in Denpasar City in 2016, the highest STI cases were in the Puskesmas area II North Denpasar as much as 36.94%. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of STIs based on socio-demographic characteristics including the type of disease, age, sex, recent education, marital status, occupation, risk group, condom use and number of sexual partners in the STI section at Puskesmas II Denpasar Utara in 2014-2016 . This research is a descriptive study with a retrospective cross sectional research design. The population and sample in this study were all patients who visited the IMS Clinic II North Denpasar Health Center for the period 2014-2016 obtained in total sampling. The secondary data obtained are then processed statistically using stata. The results showed that the incidence of STIs was higher in the 41-50 age group by 25%, male subjects by 26.4%, never attending school by 12.5%, subjects with marital status by 37.6%, occupations at risk as much as 25.5%, FSW group as much as 60%, subjects who sometimes used condoms as much as 18.2% and the number of sexual partners> 1 were 39.4%. The conclusion of this study is the incidence of STIs in Puskesmas II Denpasar Utara in 2014-2016, namely 7.4% -13%. The incidence of STIs was higher in the 41-50 age group with risk jobs, FSW groups and number of sexual partners> 1. Three types of STIs that most often occur in Puskesmas II Denpasar Utara in the last 3 years, namely Non-GO Urethritis followed by Cervicitis and Candidiasis. It is expected that the target in the implementation of the IMS program is not only for sufferers but also for their partners and not only targeting risk groups such as WPS but also PS customers.

The results of a study of sexually transmitted disease (STD) incidence and related risk factors for STDs among uninfected women at high risk of contracting STD infection in Bangkok are reported. Comprising the control arm of a randomized controlled trial of a vaginal contraceptive sponge and STD incidence, 163 women aged 18 or older were recruited from 4 massage parlours and followed for evidence of new infections over a 6–week period or until cervical infection occurred. Gynaecological examinations were performed and endocervical specimens were obtained at weekly intervals, at which time women returned coital logs recording their number of sexual partners. There were 76.5 new STD infections per 100 woman-months, including 31.7 with gonorrhoea, 43.1 with chlamydia, 1.8 of trichomoniasis and 3.5 of candidiasis. None of the risk factors examined were good predictors of STD infection in this population, which may be related to the restricted admission criteria in the study.

Effective Contraceptive

We assessed the contraceptive needs of women in jails and their sexually transmitted disease (STD) history and risk to determine effective contraceptive methods for this population. A survey of demographics, sexual health, contraceptive use, and preferred method of contraception was completed by participants recruited at jails in a medium-sized metropolitan area. Results from 188 women indicated high rates of STDs, inconsistent contraceptive use, and use of unreliable and user-dependent contraception methods. Intended contraceptive use following release varied depending on women’s ability to bear children. Women planning to use condoms after release were more likely to have had an STD and more sexual partners than were women not planning to use condoms. Racial differences were found for participants’ sexual health and contraception histories. These women were at high risk for STDs and appeared to need education about contraception methods. Therefore, they might benefit from education on safe sex practices provided prior to release.

Behavioural Factors

The prevalence of specific HSV-2 antibodies was studied in Tanzanian and Norwegian sexually transmitted disease (STD) patients (1095) and non-STD patients (488). Correlates to demographic and behavioural factors were evaluated. Seropositivity was determined by the non-commercial peptide-55 enzyme-linked immunoassay. The prevalence of HSV-2 antibodies was 70% in Tanzanian and 17% in Norwegian STD patients, 35% in Tanzanian blood donors and pregnant women, and 4, 7 and 14% in Norwegian medical students, blood donors and pregnant women respectively. A higher HSV-2 prevalence was associated with female sex, increasing age, previous STDs, history of genital HSV infection, coitarchal age (age at first intercourse) <15 years and HIV seropositivity. Compared to previous data, the prevalence of HSV-2 antibodies in Tanzanian STD patients has increased remarkably. In Norwegian STD patients our results are consistent with, or lower than, the prevalence previously reported in Western Europe. Demographic rather than behavioural factors were associated with higher prevalence of HSV-2 antibodies in STD patients.

Significant Difference

At a sexually transmitted disease clinic at Khartoum 613 Sudanese women presenting with vaginal discharge were investigated. Specimens were examined by microscopy and culture. Trichomonas vaginalis infestation was found in 123 patients (20.1%), predominantly in the age groups 16–19 years (27.1%) and 46–65 years (27%). Frequency of trichomonal vaginitis was highest (35.9%) among divorced women. Of the pregnant women investigated, 16.3% were found to harbour the parasite. There was no significant difference in the parity of parasitized and non-parasitized patients.
