Abstract

Sexually transmitted infections are one of the most important medico- social problems not only in Russia, but also in the entire world. In the work the statistical analysis of the primary prevalence of morbidity sexually transmitted infections among the teenagers (15-17 years) in the Ul’yanovsky region on the basis of data of state statistical observation (since 2006. until 2011.) is carried out. The authors note that there is a decreasing in the incidence of gonorrhoea (almost 4 times) and syphilis (about 2 times) from 2007 to 2011. High incidence rates of trichomoniasis, compared with the other surveyed sexually transmitted infections, were identified. The incidence of chlamydia remains at a consistently high level, in spite of its decline in 2011; and the growth in the incidence of sexually transmitted infections of viral etiology (anogenital herpes and anogenital warts) is inter-leaved with their lower and occurs in relatively low numbers. Gender characteristics of the incidence of sexually transmitted infections, were identified. There are variations of incidence for each of sexually transmitted infec-tions. A sharp rise in these infections was observed in 2010, but the authors noted a decrease in primary inci-dence of infections in the age group 15-17 years of the Ulyanovsky region.
