Increased Risk

Approximately half of all American adolescents have experienced sexual intercourse by age 17 years.1 The second highest rate of reported gonococcal infections (1,229 cases per 100,000 persons) occurs in 15- to 19-year-old adolescents. This increased risk in the adolescent population has been associated with the greater number of young people having sexual intercourse, the infrequent use of barrier contraceptive methods, the obstacles to prompt medical care that teenagers face, with consequent delay in diagnosis and further spread of the disease, and the large number of asymptomatic carriers.2 The pediatrician has an important responsibility for providing sexuality-related care to children and adolescents.2-4

Urinary Infections

Sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs) are the primary cause of infections of the genital apparatus, and are an important cause of morbidity worldwide. These diseases diminished after the advent of antibiotics, but in the 1970s new sexual behaviour and use of non-protective contraceptive methods brought about a significant increase in genito-urinary infections, especially in young adults of fertile age. New diseases appeared alongside the classic infections syphilis, gonorrhoea, soft ulcers, venereal lymphogranuloma, and inguinal granuloma, and increased continuously in industrialised nations. Previously unknown pathogens such as Chlamydia trachomatis, genital Mycoplasma, and others came to the attention of andrologists, particularly because of often irreversible complications in the sexual and reproductive realm (1).

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.
