“There has been a tremendous increase in the transmission of sexually transmitted infections in all geographies, owing to the asymptomatic nature of these infections, social stigma associated with disease identification, low availability of screening services and less awareness of the disease,” the report notes. “The burden of sexually transmitted infections is often estimated based on diagnostic testing and surveillance of the disease; however, it is usually hampered by the limited availability of diagnostic testing and scarcity of published literature in developing nations.”

STD Stigma and Growing Antibiotic Resistance Joining to Limit Growth

Globally, being identified as a person with a sexually transmitted disease can create unwanted stigma, especially among younger people, and the fear of this stigma can suppress the desire to be tested for a disease. Meanwhile, antibiotics resistance, particularly for the drugs which treat gonorrhea, means that new therapies for treatment are needed.
