Fading fear of HIV puts focus on rising STI risks among youth in Keralam
AI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In Kerala, the decline in fear of HIV has led to changes in sexual behavior, increasing the number of young people seeking care at district STI/RTI centers. The rise in cases highlights a growing STI risk among youth. World Sexual Health Day is observed on September 4.
WHY IT MATTERS
The trend shows that as HIV becomes less of a deterrent, other sexually transmitted infections are rising among young people, indicating a shift in public health priorities.
The virus no longer carries the deterrent power it once did and changing sexual behaviour is putting young people at risk of sexually transmitted infections. The numbers seeking care at the 23 District STI/RTIย Centres under the Kerala State AIDS Control Society have been rising steadily. September 4 is World Sexual Health Day
