ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
In the management of patients with sexually transmitted diseases(STD), contact tracing is fundamental to get the information of sexual partners to be responsible of STD transmission.OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to obtain statistical data of the sexual partners for more effective STD control.METHOD:
In order to obtain statistical knowledge of the sexual partners, we retrospectively reviewed medical records of 11,333 male patients who visited the Venereal Disease Clinic of Choong-Ku Public Health Center in Seoul from January 1986 to December 1995.RESULTS:
As the source of STD transmission for 11,333 male patients, the so called 'high risk groups' comprised 77.6% including prostitutes 38.3%, bar girl 18.9% and call girl 20.6%. In other groups, the so called 'low risk groups' are as follows; girl friends 10.4%, acquaintance 7.6% and wife 3.5%. In regard to prevalence of STD, nongonococcal urethritis and gonorrhea comprised 46.4% and 42.9%, respectively while chancroid, syphilis, herpes progenitalis and condyloma acuminatum were 2.2%, 0.9%, 0.9% and 1.0% respectively.CONCLUSION:
