Abstract Introduction In Tunisia sexuality education is a subject that is little discussed in institutions and schools, hence its marginal place in the school curriculum and even if it is addressed, it mainly concerns reproduction and risk prevention. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of law university students regarding sexually transmitted diseases. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 300 law school students in Sousse, Tunisia. The instruments used for assessment was a pretested questionnaire contained questions evaluating knowledge and attitude towards STD and AIDS. Questions had multiple responses from which each respondent was asked to select the most appropriate one. Results Our sample consisted of 300 students, the majority were female (75.3%). The mean age was 22.30 years old. More than 75% of surveyed students did not discuss the subject of sexuality with their parents. The main sources of information for the students were the internet 48.3% followed by media 47% and friends 20%; health professional represents only 10.3%. Concerning the identification of risky sexual behavior 56.6% of the students identified multiple partner's sex and 45.7% the non-use of the condom. AIDS comes first among the STD cited by the majority of students surveyed (92%) followed by syphilis (6%). Despite that the majority of our participants knew the signs of STD; such as genital ulcer, urethral / vaginal discharge. False beliefs persist such as chest pain (13.3%) and headache (13.1%). 60.7% f our student reported genital cancers as complication to STD, 32.7% infertility. Some minorities (2.7%) thought that STD could be complicated by blindness. Conclusions Despite the high prevalence of STD among young adults, most students knew very little about those infections. Implementing sexual educational programs and measuring their effectiveness should be a priority. Key messages There is a huge lack of knowledge about sexually Transmitted diseases among Tunisian college students. Implementing sexual educational programs and measuring their effectiveness should be a priority.

Abstract Penis size is a major body image concern for the majority of men in western nations, while in gay culture the penis has become a body part linked to sexual attractiveness and viability. The aim of this study was to reveal influence of the perceived penis size on sexual behaviour, condom use, sexually transmitted infections and men’s sexual positioning among men who have sex with men. In this cross-sectional study, the data were collected from consecutive men who have sex with men who attended Counselling for Sexually Transmitted Diseases at the City Institute for Skin and Venereal Diseases in Belgrade, Serbia. Out of 319 participants, 6.6% perceived their penis as "below average", 71.5% as "average", and 21.9% as "above average". In comparison with men with an average penis, men with below average penis were more frequently unsatisfied with their penis size (p < 0.05), more frequently lied to others about their penis size (p < 0.001) and took more frequently the passive sexual role (p < 0.05). Men with above average penis were more frequently satisfied with their penis size (p < 0.001), took more frequently the active sexual role (p < 0.01), they had more sexual partners (p < 0.05), more problems with a tight condom (p < 0.001) and more gonorrhoea/Chlamydia infections (p < 0.001) than men with an average penis. Perception of one’s penis size was associated with some aspects of sexual behaviour and the frequency of sexually transmitted diseases.

Abstract Background HIV-syphilis co-infection can enhance the rapid progression of early or late latent syphilis to neurosyphilis and can cause catastrophic neurological complications. In studies in Mwanza, syphilis affects ~ 8% of healthy outpatients and studies done in the 1990s have suggested that up to 23.5% of HIV-syphilis co-infected patients also have neurosyphilis. Methodology This was a cross sectional study in which adult HIV infected patients who were hospitalized or attending the outpatient Care and Treatment Clinic (CTC) were interviewed using a structured questionnaire and screened for syphilis using serum Treponema Pallidum Hemagglutination Assay (TPHA). Blood was also taken for CD4+ T cells and viral load. Those who were found to have syphilis underwent neurological examination for any neurologic deficit and were offered a lumbar puncture. Results The prevalence of syphilis in HIV infected patients was found to be 9.6%. The majority of patients were female (72.5%) and median age was 42 years [interquartile range, 32–50]. Most patients were on ART (99.4%). In the study population of 1748 participants, 9.6% were TPHA positive; the majority (89.2%) reported not knowing their syphilis status and not previously been treated. One hundred and forty-one participants with syphilis had neurological examinations performed. Four of these had abnormal findings that necessitated a lumbar puncture. Neurosyphilis was confirmed in one patient (0.7%). Conclusion The high prevalence of syphilis in HIV infected patients indicates that there is a need to increase efforts in targeting this population to reduce sexually transmitted infections. Screening for syphilis should be done for all HIV patients given the high prevalence of the infection and the risk that aggressive forms of neurosyphilis can occur despite recovery of CD4+ T cell counts in untreated syphilis.

Descriptive Survey

Some dimensions such as stigmatization have been identified in the previous literature regarding experiences of living with a sexually transmitted disease (STD). However, relatively little is known about the generic experiences of those infected. The aim of this study was to describe the experiences of living with an STD, as evaluated by those infected. Data ( n = 213) were collected via an online questionnaire and analysed using statistical methods. The experiences of living with an STD varied overall. The immutability of everyday life, a thirst for knowledge, a responsible attitude towards treatment of an STD and the dilemma of disclosing the STD were considered to best describe the experiences of living with an STD. The most recently diagnosed STD and its phase were most often statistically significantly associated with the experiences. We conclude that the diversity of these experiences should be recognized in healthcare, and used in the prevention of STDs.

Abstract Background In the majority of European countries, sex education is mandatory, but Italy is still an exception. Despite sexually transmitted diseases (STD) are believed to be less common today, long-time “forgotten” disease, as syphilis, are returning. The aims of study are i) to examine the knowledge and perceptions of adolescents regarding sex education and STD and ii) to compare our results with Italian national survey. Methods This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 6 middle schools in Siena (Italy) during May-June 2018. Data were anonymous collected using a validate questionnaire previously adopted by the Italian National Institute of Health (NIH). The results were compared with the national survey realized in 1998 by NIH. The analysis was performed using Stata 12. Results From 691 questionnaires, 540 returned fulfilled (78% response rate). The majority (95%) of respondents considered sex education “important” and thought it should be guaranteed by the school; 48% described information received so far as “sufficient”, 40% as “adequate”. “School” was indicated as the principal source of information (44%), instead of “friends” which resulted in 1998. The respondents were asked to choose from the list the STDs they knew: 96% indicated “AIDS”, 62% “syphilis”, 38% “HBV” and 36% “gonorrhoea”. In comparison to 1998, knowledge of syphilis has decresed (2018:17% vs. 1998:62%) and HBV (2018:38% vs. 1998:58%). Regarding STD, the “mass media” were cited as the principal source of information (56%), followed by “school” (41%) and “General Practitioner” (20%). Conclusions In comparison to 1998 sex education in Italian schools improved, but the knowledge of adolescents regarding the STD worsened. This result can be attributed to the fact that the survey of 1998 was realized during the years when the AIDS awareness was higher. It is necessary to further improve the sex education in Italy in order to prevent STDs. Key messages The “forgotten” sexually transmitted diseases are becoming common again, the adequate sex education in schools is necessary to prevent them. In confrontation to 1998, the sex education in Italian schools improved, but the knowledge of adolescents regarding the STD worsened.
