2. DEFINITION
• STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease)
are a group of communicable
diseases that are transmitted
predominantly by sexual contact
and caused by a wide range of
bacterial, viral, protozoal & fungal
agents & ecto parasites
MD DANISH RIZVI
3. SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED
DISEASES (STDS)
• STDs or STIs (sexually transmitted
infections) are infections/diseases that
can be transferred from one person to
another through sexual contact. In
India, the prevalence of sexually
transmitted diseases is quite high.
Among the sexually transmitted
diseases, AIDS is a serious concern.
MD DANISH RIZVI
4. • STDs or STIs (sexually transmitted
infections) are infections/diseases that
can be transferred from one person to
another through sexual contact.
• Some of the Sexually Transmitted
Infections are also transmitted through
birth, intravenous needles or
breastfeeding.
MD DANISH RIZVI
5. • Adolescents and young adults (15-24)
are the age groups at the greatest risk
for acquiring a Sexually Transmitted
Disease (STD). STDs can have severe
consequences if not treated, especially
in women.
• It is important to go for STD testing
whenever you suspect that you have
contracted a sexually transmitted
disease.

6. CLASSIFICATION OF STD AGENTS
A. BACTERIAL AGENTS.
B. VIRAL AGENTS.
C. PROTOZOAL AGENTS.
D. FUNGAL AGENTS.
E. ECTOPARASITES.

29. EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM
WORLD:
• True incidence will never be known
not only due to inadequate
reporting but also because of the
secrecy that surrounds them.
• Most of them are not even
notifiable.
MD DANISH RIZVI
31. SYPHILIS

• Individuals may not exhibit clinical
manifestations.
• The symptoms mimic like
gonorrhoea.
• It can result in vertical transmission
to the foetus.
MD DANISH RIZVI
59. • The drug of choice include
doxycycline, azithromycin /
amoxycillin, ofloxacin, erythromycin
or tetracycline.
MD DANISH RIZVI
60. TRICHOMONIASIS
• The parasitic infection leads to
vaginitis & vaginal discharge in
women.
• Usually there are no symptoms. In
men it may cause urethritis.
• The treatment option is metronidazole
/ tinidazole.
MD DANISH RIZVI
61. CHANCRIOD
• After infection a small papule
develops at the site of inoculation
within 2-3 days.
• The lesion then erodes into a deep
ulcer that is extremely painful.
• This is followed by painful swelling of
the inguinal lymph node (BUBO).
MD DANISH RIZVI
63. • The antibiotics used are
ciprofloxacin, erythromycin,
ciftriaxone and azithromycin.
MD DANISH RIZVI
64. LGV
• It commonly presents with swelling
of lymph nodes in the groin.
• Initially there is a small painless
ulcer of the genitalia 3-30 days after
exposure.
• It may pass unrecognized and
resolve spontaneously.
MD DANISH RIZVI
66. • If left untreated the disease may cause
extensive lymphatic damage resulting in
elephantiasis of the genitalia.
• The antibiotics used are doxycycline,
erythromycin & tetracycline.

(surgery required)
MD DANISH RIZVI
67. DONOVANOSIS
• Symptoms are similar togranuloma
venereum.

• National STD Control Programme in

arrival spread of HIV infection in the
country it was brought under the
purview of National AIDS
Organization in the year 1992.
MD DANISH RIZVI
79. OBJECTIVES OF STD CONTROL
PROGRAMME (INDIA)
1.Reduce STD cases and thereby
control HIV transmission by
minimizing the risk factor
2. Prevent the short term as well as
long term morbidity and mortality
due to STD
MD DANISH RIZVI
80. STRATEGIES
• The broad strategies for
controlling STD, as outlined in
the strategic plan for the
prevention and control of AIDS
in India are the following:
MD DANISH RIZVI
81. • Adequate and effective programme
management
• Prevention of the transmission of
STD/HIV infection through IEC and
promotion of safer sexual behaviour
by the use of condoms.
MD DANISH RIZVI
82. • Adequate and comprehensive case
management including diagnosis,
treatment, individual counseling,
partner notification and screening for
other diseases.
• Increasing access to health care for STD
by strengthening existing facilities and
structures and creating new facilities
wherever necessary.
MD DANISH RIZVI
83. • Early diagnosis and treatment of
mostly asymptomatic infections
through case finding and screening.
MD DANISH RIZVI
84. ACTIONS
• Training of health care workers in
both public and private sectors in
comprehensive STD case
management.
• Development of appropriate
laboratory services for the diagnosis
of STD
MD DANISH RIZVI
85. • Conduct of Microbiological,
Socio-behavioural and Operation
research.
• Surveillance to assess the
epidemiological situation, and
monitor and� evaluate theon
going STD control programme.
MD DANISH RIZVI
86. • One of the major actions taken
along the lines suggested in the
strategies was strengthening the
existing facilities and structure of
STD clinics.
MD DANISH RIZVI
87. • This year following drugs are supplied to
the STD clinics other than the usual.
• Erythromycin 500 mg Tabs.
• Doxycycline caps 100 mg
• Norfloxacin 400 mg Tabs
• Fluconazole 150 mg tabs
• Clotrimzole Vag Tab 500 mg
• Acyclovir cream 5 mg tubes
