dc.description.abstractBackground: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) constitute a major health problem in the developing countries and prevalence of STIs varies from region to region in our country. Aim: To study the pattern and prevalence of sexually transmitted infections and HIV seropositivity among patients presenting in a tertiary care center. Materials and methods: A retrospective data was collected in the department of Dermatology at Shri Guru Ram Rai Institute of Medical and Health Sciences (SGRRIHMS), Shri Mahant Indiresh Hospital (SMIH), a tertiary care center in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India, from January 2011 to December 2018. A total of 525 patients were analyzed in this study. Results: A total of 525 patients were enrolled in our study. STIs were more common in men, with male (365): female (160) ratio of 2.2:1. Maximum numbers of patients were in the age group of 25 to 34 years. Unskilled workers (22.28%) and housewives (20.00%) constituted major proportion. Majority of the cases presented with warts (38.09%) followed by molluscum contagiosum (20.95%) and herpes genitalis (19.61%). But herpes genitalis (27.39%) was found to be the most common STD seen among males and warts (68.75%) among the females. HIV seropositivity was seen among 20 (3.80%) patients and was most commonly associated with herpes genitalis infection (60.00%).
