Article Abstract
Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a virus that causes Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) which weaken the human immune system and thus increasing the incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and vice versa.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study of STIs in HIV/AIDS patients in (UPIPI) Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya was conducted from January 1 2013 to December 31 2014. We examined the number and type of STIs, age distribution, gender, occupation, number of CD4, and antiretroviral treatment of patients with HIV/AIDS. The data were presented in a descriptive analysis.
Results: The percentage of STIs patients was 4.2% (148 of 3.350) of all patients with HIV/AIDS in the UPIPI Outpatient Clinic of Dr. Soetomo General Hospital. Most patients were 25-44 years old (70.9%) including 54.7% were males, 8.0% were housewives, and 1.4% were students. The five highest prevalence of STIs were condylomata acuminate (43.9%), non-specific genital ulcers (11.5%), syphilis (10.7%), genital herpes (10.1%), and scabies (8.1%). The sexual predilections consisted of heterosexual (70.9%), homosexual (12.2%), bisexual (2.0%), and no data (14.9%). Patients with the number of CD4 <200 mm was 52.0% and 79.1% of the patients received ARV therapy.
Conclusion: STIs and HIV/AIDS were closely related. HIV/AIDS could increase the incidence of STIs and STIs could elevate HIV/AIDS.

Association between maternal sexually transmitted diseases and birth defects in the United States: A nationwide population-based study.
Ann Epidemiol
September 2025
School of Public Health, Peking University, Beijing, China. Electronic address:
Purpose: We estimated the association between maternal sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and the risk of specific birth defects among live singleton births in the United States (US).
Methods: We conducted a population-based study using data from birth certificates for 14,602,822 live singleton births occurring from 2016 to 2019 in the US. We used logistic regression to estimate the associations between three maternal STDs (chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis) and the risk of four specific birth defects (gastroschisis, cleft lip with or without cleft palate, spina bifida, and hypospadias), adjusting for socio-demographic and pregnancy-related factors.
DoxyPEP: Opportunities for Expansion.

Clinical trials show that doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (DoxyPEP) significantly reduces the risk of bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs), especially syphilis and chlamydia, in cisgender men who have sex with men and transgender women. Real-world data suggest DoxyPEP may be beneficial for other populations disproportionately affected by STIs. Given the ongoing STI epidemic we recommend discussing DoxyPEP with all eligible patients.

Verruciform xanthoma is a rare, benign mucocutaneous growth, usually seen in the oral cavity, but uncommonly also seen on genital skin. It presents as a flat or raised skin lesion, varying in colour with an irregular surface. These lesions can mimic stigmata of sexually transmitted infections such HPV-genital warts, condyloma latum or cause concern for inflammatory or malignant conditions, with histopathology being crucial for diagnosis and to avoid anxiety or invasive procedures.
