BACKGROUND: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain a significant public health concern, with increasing trends observed globally.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to analyze the prevalence and trends of STIs at a tertiary care center in east India over a two-year period.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care center in east India from 2022 to 2024. A total of 11,803 patients were included.
RESULTS: The male-to-female ratio was 1.13:1. The majority of cases were in the age group of 18-30 years (60.8%), and high-risk behaviors, including multiple sexual partners and substance abuse, were prevalent. The findings indicate a rising trend in genital ulcer disease due to herpes, secondary syphilis, and HIV-positive cases. Men who have sex with men with anal warts and individuals with a history of multiple exposures also showed increasing numbers.
CONCLUSION: The results highlight the urgent need for enhanced STI surveillance, awareness programs, and targeted interventions to curb infection rates. Strengthening routine screening, expanding access to treatment, and implementing strategic public health initiatives are critical in addressing the rising burden of STIs.
