Infectious Diseases: Control and Prevention

HIV/AIDS from STDs & STIs

Human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a spectrum of conditions that can be caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Sexually transmitted diseases(STD)/ sexually transmitted infections(STI) are the infections which are transmitted through sexual contact with an infected individual and also transmitted during vaginal or other types of sexual intercourse including oral and anal sex. Basic STI services are in disarray as programme resources which can be determined by decisions relating to a single disease existence in many Countries. Major HIV epidemics emerged from different types of infections that can be spread rapidly under some conditions of poor STI control and further weakening of STI control may well undermine other HIV prevention efforts.
