PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS - AWARENESS ATTITUDES OF MODERN WOMEN AND MEN

Summary/Abstract: Despite modern methods of prevention and treatment, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain a serious public health problem. The World Health Organization (WHO) warns about the emergence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which requires studying how informed people are and what their attitudes are towards prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The aim of our study is to analyze precisely this knowledge and attitudes among modern women and men. The object of the study is the opinion of the respondents regarding the methods of prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Materials and methods: The study covered 125 women and 100 men from Burgas region. The study was conducted online, using an anonymous questionnaire prepared in Google forms. Results: By age distribution, the most numerous group of respondents was young - women aged 20-25 (30.4%); men aged 20-25 (26%). Distributed by place of residence, a large proportion of women (87.3%) and men (81.1%) live in cities. Distributed by education, 49.6% of women have higher education, while men with secondary education predominate (68%). The study found that respondents have knowledge of the main sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Both groups studied associate the concept of "safe sex" with condom use: women 65.2%; men 76.2%, as a manifestation of responsibility for personal health and the health of their partner. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a global problem, their prevalence varies significantly in different regions. These differences are due to specific factors such as the level of access to health services, the effectiveness of sexual education, cultural characteristics and sexual behavior of the population. These differences indicate that specific prevention and control strategies are needed for each region.
