Great Burden

Sexually transmitted diseases refer to clinical syndromes and infections that are acquired and transmitted through sexual activity. Worldwide, more than 340 million cases of sexually transmitted disease occur each year, placing a great burden on individuals as well as communities and countries. The proportion of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in Mongolia is relatively high due to their inadequate treatment technologies, religious or local customs, and regional differences. It is rather difficult to grasp the exact number of patients as these diseases are considered ones that should not be disclosed to others. Therefore, this study aims to accurately identify sexually transmitted diseases in Mongolia and reduce infection through an analytic approach of big data virtualization propagation.

An ex p lo ra to ry d e sc rip tiv e study was u n d e rtak en , focussing on sexually transmitted diseases (STD) among teenagers. The aim of the study was to explore and describe the possible reasons for the high rate of sexually transmitted diseases in teenagers. The perceptions of teenagers and community nurses regarding sexually transmitted disease among teenagers involved in the teenage clinic in a specific predominantly black area were assessed. Twenty teenagers and five community nurses were participants in the study. Two focus group interviews were conducted with teenagers and community nurses. It can be concluded that the attitudes of community nurses may have an influence on the high rate of sexually transmitted diseases among teenagers. The knowledge o f the teenagers about sexually transmitted diseases is often based on myths and misconceptions which could be intensified by the community nurse. The recommendations made are that the education standards of all community nurses should be reviewed and adapted to meet the needs of teenagers attending the teenage health services. The policy on in-service training must be reviewed and monitored. Community nurses’ intensive training on teenage health service delivery and sexually transmitted diseases services should be in accordance with the principles of Primary Health Care. Community nurses need to attend intensive courses on interpersonal skills specifically related to teenagers. Selection procedures for recruiting community nurses to attend to teenagers specifically should be researched. Teenagers should be involved in planning programs and the teenage clinic should be evaluated frequently to improve the standards. The availability of adequate teenage health services can result in a decrease in sexually transmitted diseases among teenagers.

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.

Sexually transmitted diseases or infections are a major threat to the public. Every year more than one million people acquire it globally. The objectives of this study were: a) to identify the number of patients tested for STDs, b) to assess the number of patients tested positive for STDs, c) to understand the trends of STD syndrome among the patients from January 2018 to June 2019. Data of patients visiting the STD Outpatient Department (OPD) of Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi with symptoms related to STI/ STD was analysed. Data of patients who visited the OPD for consultation was available, and was used as proxy denominator to guide the analyses. Descriptive analyses were conducted using this dataset. The total number of patients in 2018 was 7363, out of which 4089 (55.53%) were males. In 2019, the total number of patients between January and June was 4346, with an almost similar proportion of males (2241- 51.56%). Of 7363 patients that visited the clinic, 19.7% of patients tested positive for one or the other STD in 2018, whereas from January to June 2019, 18.38% patients tested positive for STD. A total of 1561 cases of Vaginal/ Cervical discharge was seen across the span of 18 months in 2018. This analysis gives an understanding of the number of patients with STD symptoms and syndromes over a period of 18 months at a tertiary level STD centre in Delhi. Since the data available is only for one centre, the results cannot be generalized to the wider population.
