RTIs include those that are sexually transmitted (STIs) as well as those that are overgrowths of endogenous microorganisms or may be transmitted during medical procedures (iatrogenic). The World Health Organization estimates that over 340 million new cases of four curable STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and trichomoniasis) occur annually. If viral STIs such as human papillomavirus (HPV), herpes simplex virus (HSV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections are included, the number of new cases each year may be three times higher. Although many RTIs/STIs often are undetected, vulnerability to co-infection with HIV may be increased in their presence. Prevention and treatment of RTIs/STIs is therefore critical, not only to reduce the adverse effects of the infections themselves but also to prevent transmission of HIV.
Population Council focus
The Population Council focuses on developing and testing strategies to improve the prevention, detection, and management of RTIs/STIs in resource-poor settings, with a particular focus on developing and promoting female-controlled prevention methods and on integrating STI services into primary health care.
Population Council impact
- In collaboration with Family Health International, the Council supported the World Health Organization (WHO) in developing guidelines for essential practice for the integration of RTIs/STIs into primary health care services. The Council is currently providing technical assistance to Kenya’s Ministry of Health as it adapts and rolls out these guidelines nationwide as part of its strategy for revitalizing STI control.
- In Pakistan, the Council was responsible for facilitating a national study of RTIs in bridging populations of men to determine urban men’s sexual behaviors, perceptions, and knowledge regarding STIs. The results from this study point to the need to develop awareness campaigns in Pakistan that mitigate stigma and reduce vulnerability.
- Public health messages rarely mention the connection between cervical cancer, a leading killer of women in Latin America, and HPV. The Council collaborated with the WHO to convene a regional meeting to share information on country programs for adolescent health, sexual and reproductive health, cervical cancer prevention, and HPV vaccine introduction. The Council has also surveyed a sample of cancer specialists in Mexico to determine their knowledge of and attitudes toward HPV and cervical cancer.
