ABSTRACT
Our country level
registered communicable diseases in 2014, 45.6% of them are STD (Sexually Transmitted Diseases). And 43.3% of the affected
people by STD are aged between 15-24 years which demonstrated that they have
more risky sexual
behavior. This study aimed to
identify level of prevalence of HIV and Syphilis within university students, to
investigate their risky sexual behavior, and to treat them
including their sexual partners. The survey included
over 1,500 students for screening tests for HIV/Syphilis was performed locally
using On Site TM Rapid Test Kits. Through the test not
revealed any HIV case, only 40 (2.6%) students diagnosed by syphilis. Screening
and confirmation tests for syphilis were performed locally using RPR (Rapid Plasma Reagin) and TPHA (Treponema Palladium
Hem agglutination Assay), respectively. The
test revealed the diagnosis for first time for 22 (55 %) of those 40 patients
with syphilis and 18 (45%) are defined as the control of
STD. Therefore, 28 (70%) of them manifested symptoms of STD, only 25 (89.2%) of them previously
tested and 9 (32.1%) have not treated at
all. The test revealed the diagnosis for first time for 22 (55 %) of those 40
patients with syphilis and 18 (45%) are defined as the control of STD. Finally, above 40 patients are entirely included
in treatment with their partners and registered of STD can be controlled.
