“…Males (85%) seemed quite advanced in this matter as in other observations. 11,23 Contrary to this a late sexual debut (23years) was observed among educated women in another study 24 whereas literacy rate of women in our part of the world is still very low and moreover they get married earlier in our society. Males enjoy freedom in all aspects of society including sex because of which there is male preponderance in STIs at an early age.…”

“…Sexual debut at younger age makes them likely to have multiple partners in future which make them vulnerable for acquisition of STIs. 24 The median number of life time partners in our study was 2.0; interestingly it ranged from single partner to up to 150 partners. Among total 31 female patients, 21 admitted a monogamous relationship and 20 out of them had some form of STIs.…”

CitationGyawalee M, Pokhrel DB. Pattern of sexually transmitted infections and sexual behavior in patients with genital symptoms. NJDVL 2014; 12(1): 20 -27. Pattern Of Sexually Transmitted Infections And Sexual Behavior In Patients With Genital Symptoms Objectives:To determine the pattern of sexually transmitted infections along with their sexual behaviour in patients presenting with genital symptoms. Material and Methods:A cross sectional, descriptive study was carried out in the department of dermato-venereology, TUTH. During one year period, a total of 130 consecutive cases were enrolled in this study. The diagnosis of infections was made clinically with relevant laboratory investigations and they were interviewed for their sexual behaviour after taking consent and assuring confidentiality. Results:The average age of this population was 27.84 years. Majority belonged to age group 15-24 years, with male to female ratio of 3.19:1. Many (52.3%) were married. The most common infection was condyloma accuminata (29.2%). The mean age of sex debut was 18.95 years and majority (50.8%) belonged to 15-19 years group. The median number of life time partners was 2.0. Only 43 (33.1%) were on monogamous relationship. The 15-34 age groups had maximum number of sexual partners. Married person living singly had more frequent extramarital contact. Only 10 (7.7%) used condom consistently. Conclusions:Younger people should be educated about monogamous relationship along with correct and consistent use of condom for the prevention of STIs

“…Subjects with itchy, thick, odourless, white (cheese-like) vaginal discharge with or without erythema of the labia, vulva and vagina were diagnosed with candidiasis, while subjects with yellowish, whitish or greenish discharge with or without pruritus were diagnosed with trichomoniasis. 3 Female subjects with lower abdominal pain were treated for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) if the criteria in Box 2 were met.…”

S Afr Fam Pract 2011;53(1):63-70Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are among the most common infectious diseases in the world today. There are few reliable statistics on the true prevalence of STIs in developing countries, especially in the general practice setting, hence the need to determine the prevalence in each locality. With the scourge and pandemicity of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the fact that STIs are recognised as independent risk factors for its transmission, determining the risk profiles for STIs has become paramount. The aim of this study was to describe the pattern of STIs among patients attending a Nigerian general practice (GP) clinic.Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, hospital-based study. Consenting patients were recruited serially between February and April 2006 until the sample size of 415 was reached. Subjects' genital symptoms were considered according to the four common STI syndromes according to National AIDS/STD Control Programme guidelines.Results: The age range of the subjects was 15 to 95 years (mean 45.16 years, standard deviation 18.83 years, median 44 years). The median age at coitarche was 21 years while the median age at marriage was 25 years. The prevalence rates of current, past and lifetime STI were 18.8%, 22.4% and 32% respectively. Only 28 (6.8%) study subjects had laboratory evidence of STIs at the time of study. Previous sex with a commercial sex worker, previous history of STIs, premarital sex, first intercourse before or at 21 years of age and multiple sexual partners were significantly associated with STIs. Previous history of STIs was a strong predictor of current STI in this study while premarital sex and previous sex with a commercial sex worker were strong predictors of past STI. The frequency of HIV infection among subjects with STIs was more than double that of the control and a co-infection rate of 17.9% was found.Conclusions: The findings of this study indicate a high prevalence of STIs in the study community in association with prevailing high sexual risk behaviours, hence the need for reliable control programmes targeting the latter.Peer reviewed.
