“…One of the key factors contributing to the spread of these diseases is unfavourable attitudes and ignorance. Misuse of recreational drugs and alcohol, which impairs judgement, as well as unsafe sexual encounters and sharing of contaminated needles or syringes, are other risk factors [4] [5].…”

Sexually transmitted diseases are globally recognized as significant health burdens. The aim of this study was to evaluate the application of an epidemiological triangle model on prevalent sexually transmitted diseases among married women. Research design: A quasi experimental design was utilized in this study. Setting: This study was conducted at the Obstetrics& Gynecology Outpatient Clinics in Benha University Hospital and Benha Teaching Hospital in Benha City. The sample: Simple random sample of 25% of all women attended to previously mentioned settings which included 150 women. Tools: A structured interviewing questionnaire which includes fourth parts:-a): demographic characteristics b): Medical history of the studied women's regarding obstetric history and present complain c): knowledge about prevalent sexually transmitted disease (chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis and trichomoniasis) according to an epidemiological triangle model d): womens' reported practices for prevalent sexually transmitted disease (chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and trichomoniasis) according to an epidemiological triangle model. Results: 18.0% of the studied women had good total knowledge pre implementation compared with 72.7% post implementation of epidemiological model, and 31.3% of the studied women had satisfactory total practices pre implementation compared with 81.3% post implementation of epidemiological model. also the result proved that there are no significant correlations between total knowledge scores and total practices scores pre implementation of epidemiological triangle model and there are positive statistically correlations between total knowledge scores and total practices scores post implementation of epidemiological triangle model among the studied women. Conclusion: The epidemiological triangle model succeeded to improve knowledge and practices of the studied women regarding sexually transmitted diseases. Recommendations: Provide continuous educational program to women in Outpatient Obstetrics Clinics to increase knowledge about prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.

“…Furthermore, many RSBs are associated with a higher risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) 5,6 . STDs, including syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, genital herpes, hepatitis B, human immunodeficiency virus, and human papillomavirus, represent a worldwide major public health problem and may severely impair quality of life 7,8 . Globally, the age-standardized incidence rate of STDs increased from 2010 to 2019, with some regional differences in the age of the affected population 9 .…”

Patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) suffer from inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Clinicians often assume that the specific difficulties associated with ADHD are bound to affect sexual behaviors, and favor risky sexual behaviors, thereby increasing the frequency of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). This review provides an up-to-date synthesis of the literature concerning STDs in patients with ADHD. A systematic review of the literature was performed using the PubMed, PsychInfo, and Embase databases, with STDs as the main outcome measure. Patients with ADHD report more STDs than the general population. Results are limited by the small number of existing studies, as well as the heterogeneity of the outcome measures. Findings from this first systematic review of data on STDs in individuals with ADHD suggest that ADHD affects sexual health and sexual behaviors. Clinicians treating patients with ADHD should explore risky sexual behaviors in their patients and raise awareness about the risk of contracting STDs. Further studies are warranted to better evaluate the risk of contracting an STD in patients with ADHD.
