Syphilis has been controlled since 1960. However, syphilis is now reappearing in some areas in Africa and South-east Asia including Thailand. In Thailand, syphilis is reappearing in all regions. The most high-risk population is the youth aged 15-24 year. Objective of this study aimed to determine factors associated with knowledge and awareness of syphilis prevention among youths visiting at family planning clinic, Bangkok, Thailand. Method of this study was a cross-sectional study conducted by purposive sampling among the youth aged 15-24 years old who visit at PPAT family planning clinic, Bangkok, Thailand during April-June 2021. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between factors and the knowledge/awareness level of syphilis prevention. Total 207 participants were recruited in this study. The result from multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that unemployment associated with lower knowledge level compared with fulltime job [OR 0.29, 95% CI (0.11-0.75)], living with family or relative associated with lower knowledge level compared with living alone [OR 0.187, 95% CI (0.07—0.51)], always use of condom associate with higher knowledge level compared with never use condom [OR 7.95, 95% CI (1.64-38.61)], participant who never had a reproductive health education associated with lower knowledge level compared with participant who had a reproductive health education [OR 0.29, 95% CI (0.11-0.77)], and participant who had ever used a reproductive health service at private clinic/hospital associated with lower knowledge level compared with who use this service for the first time [OR 0.27, 95% CI (0.07-0.99)]. According to the awareness, participant who had a good knowledge level associated with higher awareness level of syphilis prevention compared with those who had fair or poor knowledge level [OR 1.19, 95% CI (1.06-1.33)]. We concluded that the youths were recognized as vulnerable group for syphilis. To prevent them, it was important for public health to emphasize on knowledge and awareness regarding syphilis prevention among the youths. Additionally, novel strategy to increased knowledge and awareness level of syphilis prevention need to be considered.

Objective: This study was designed to assess the prevalence of reproductive tract infections (RTIs) among an internal-migrant population of reproductive age in China. We also analyzed the knowledge, attitude, and practices related to these infections. Methods: A cross-sectional study using the quota-sampling method was conducted in three cities from March 2016 to February 2017. A total of 3320 participants (40.7% men and 59.3% women) were enrolled in the study, of whom, 1124, 1015, and 1181 were from Yinchuan, Urumchi, and Shanghai, respectively. Data on the included subjects were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Results: We found that 3.2% and 22.6% of all subjects lacked knowledge regarding the identification and prevention of RTIs, respectively. More than 80% of the participants approved of developing RTI surveillance and taking RTI-related courses. While 45.1% of the respondents changed their underwear every 2–3 days, 49.0% cleaned their genitals daily, and 34.9% reported taking a bath daily. Among contraceptive users, 47.4% and 29.7% used condoms and IUDs (intrauterine devices), respectively. Overall, 48.2% of the participants had laboratory-confirmed sexually transmitted infections, and 19.7% of the female participants had endogenous infections. After controlling the socio-demographic variables, participants who cleaned their genitals and took a bath less frequently, as well as used condoms or pills had a lower prevalence of sexually transmitted infections, while those who were unwilling to take RTI-related courses and changed their underwear less frequently were more likely to contract sexually transmitted infections. While women who were unwilling to take RTI-related courses had a lower prevalence of endogenous infections, those with more children had a higher prevalence. Conclusion: The status of RTIs among the internal-migrant population of reproductive-age is not optimistic and is related to multiple factors. We believe this study will contribute to improving the knowledge, attitude, and practices related to RTIs.
