Abstract
Introduction: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a major global health problem. Patterns of STIs varies from place to place depending on various epidemiological factors. It is important to understand the pattern of STI prevailing in the region for proper planning and implementation of control strategies. This study was done with the aims and objectives to find out the pattern of STIs, prevalence of STIs, any change in the trend of STIs and incidence of HIV/AIDS in STIs. Method: This is a retrospective study of patients attending to STI clinic attached to the department of Dermatology and Venereology, FAAMCH, Assam, from January 2013 to December 2017. The data were analysed epidemiologically for the pattern and prevalence of STIs. Result: Out of a total of 1360 new STI attendees, 503 were diagnosed with STI with a male to female ratio of 1:1.3. The majority of patients were in the age group of 21-30 years, married and heterosexual. The STIs observed in our study were Cervico-vaginal discharge (26.83%), Genital herpes (24.85%), Genital wart(14.31%), Urethral Discharge (11.72%), Genital Molluscum Contagiosum (8.15%), Genital scabies (7.35%), GUD-NH (5.56%), and LAP (1.19%). The prevalence of HIV and PLHA presenting with STI and new seropositive cases detected was 6.95%. Conclusion: The persistent and recurrent nature of viral infections is responsible for their increasing trend in the current STI scenario. STs being higher in married individuals implies the importance of contact tracing, counselling and early management of the partners.

Key words: Bacterial, heterosexual, sexually transmitted infection, syndromic approach, viral
