Abstract Purpose of the study. To analyze the dynamics of prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases and drug disorders among Ukrainians child population of 2008–2017 period as a consequence of their dangerous behavior, to determine the main directions of prevention of these diseases.  Materials and methods. The survey materials included data from the reports and directories of the Health Statistics Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, the Health for All Database for 2008 and 2017. The statistical method was used during the study.  Results. The dynamics of indicators of paediatric sexually transmitted diseases and drug disorders in different age groups were analyzed; identified the most vulnerable group of children for these diseases; a sexually transmitted disease and drug disorders were analyzed taking into account age, sex of child and nosology; the directions of prevention of dangerous behaviour of children are outlined. Conclusion. All age groups in the pediatric population have a positive trend in sexually transmitted diseases and drug disorders. The most vulnerable group of children is teenagers aged 15–17. Trichomoniasis, which has the highest levels in Dnipropetrovsk and Khmelnitsky region, is the leading sexually transmitted disease. Among drug disorders, the most common acute intoxication and mental disorders are due to alcohol and tobacco use. The prevalence and first-time effects of tobacco use among adolescents have a negative trend.

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.

Microbial Adherence

Heparan sulfate (HS) serves as a receptor for adherence of herpes simplex viruses, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and, indirectly, human immunodeficiency virus. Using primary human culture systems, we identified sulfated carbohydrate compounds that resemble HS and competitively inhibit infection by these pathogens. These compounds are candidates for intravaginal formulations for the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.
