From Ignorance to Awareness Taking Responsibility for Your Sexual Health

Taking Responsibility for Your Sexual Health Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a global public health concern, affecting millions of people each year. In recent years, there has been an increase in the rate of STI infections in many parts of the world, including the United States, Europe, and Asia. 

According to data from the Indian Health Ministry and the National Health Profile 2019, the rate of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in India has been increasing in recent years. For example;

The incidence of syphilis increased from 0.06 per 1,000 population in 2010 to 0.14 per 1,000 population in 2018. 

The incidence of gonorrhea increased from 0.08 per 1,000 population in 2010 to 0.11 per 1,000 population in 2018. 

The incidence of HIV/AIDS has also been a concern in India, with an estimated 2.1 million people living with HIV in 2019.

In this video, we will explore some of the reasons behind this trend and what can be done to address it. 

There are several factors contributing to the increase in STIs in India:

1: Lack of comprehensive sexual health education. Many people, especially young adults and adolescents, are not adequately informed about how to protect themselves from STIs. This lack of knowledge can lead to risky sexual behavior, such as unprotected sex, multiple sexual partners, and drug use during sex, which increases the likelihood of STI transmission. 

2: The stigma around discussing and seeking treatment for STIs is another contributing factor. Many people are embarrassed or ashamed to talk about their sexual health or seek medical care for STIs, which can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment, further spread of the infection, and potentially serious health complications. 

3: Another issue is limited access to healthcare services in some areas. People living in rural or low-income communities may face barriers to accessing sexual health services, such as a lack of clinics or providers, limited transportation, or prohibitive costs. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has also played a role in the increasing rates of STIs. Lockdowns and social distancing measures have disrupted regular healthcare services, including STI testing and treatment. 

Additionally, people have reported engaging in more risky sexual behavior as a result of loneliness, stress, and boredom during the pandemic. 

The increasing rates of STIs are a complex issue that requires a multi-faceted approach to address. By prioritizing comprehensive sexual health education, expanding access to healthcare services, and reducing stigma, we can work towards reducing the spread of STIs and improving overall sexual health outcomes.
