WHO will warn about the increase in the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases
The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned about the increase in the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.
According to the report issued by the organization, more than 1 million people are infected with sexually transmitted diseases every day, including syphilis and gonorrhea.
The greatest increase in infections has been witnessed in the Americas and Africa.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned about the challenges in the fight against sexually transmitted diseases. According to the information provided by the WHO, the annual number of new infections of syphilis increased from about 7.1 million in 2020 to 8 million in 2022.
A total of 230,000 people died from bacterial diseases in 2022.
Sexually transmitted diseases are among the most well-known infections that cause serious harm, especially in developing countries, most of which are in Africa.
According to the WHO, STDs affect sexual ability and fertility, and increase the risk of infertility, pregnancy complications, cancer and HIV/AIDS.
Sexually transmitted diseases cannot be transmitted by shaking hands or touching each other, or touching clothes or toilet seats.
The report also touched on the slow decline in new infections of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
The World Health Organization (WHO) says that many countries have already developed health strategies to prevent the transmission of HIV and syphilis from mother to child.
