Sexually transmitted diseases
Sexually transmitted diseases, also known as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are infections that are primarily transmitted through sexual contact. They may be brought on by fungus, viruses, parasites, or bacteria. The session may cover topics such as risk factors, testing guidelines, counseling strategies, partner notification, and the integration of sexual health services into primary care settings. The latest research in sexually transmitted diseases aims to improve the understanding, prevention, diagnosis, and management of these infections. It emphasizes the development of innovative diagnostic tools, addressing antimicrobial resistance, expanding vaccination strategies, implementing effective behavioral interventions, and adopting syndemic approaches to reduce STD rates and their associated health burdens.
