ABSTRACT
This project give a
summary of the entire research study which was designed to find out the way and
the way forward in the treatment and prevention of sexually transmitted disease
in Egor Local Government Area of Edo State. This study include respondents in
secondary schools, tertiary institutions, civil servants, traders, which were
reviewed were the mode of transmission, factors predisposing youths to STD’s,
the symptoms, treatment, diagnosis, prognosis, preventive measures of sexually
transmitted disease, others include control and eradication.
The questionnaire was
used as the research instrument: A total of 343 questionnaires were given to
the respondents, analysis of data from the review of the questionnaires showed
that abstinence from sex and faithfulness to one partners is the best prevention

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
Prior to the invention
of modern medications, infectious disease were generally incurable, and
treatment was limited to treating the symptoms of the disease sexually
transmitted diseases has been known for hundred of years, but as we enter a new
millennium, age old problems of the infectious disease continue to plague us.
Very many have been eliminated, examples are syphilis and Tuberculosis.
Overcrowding, environmental degradation, poverty often inflate these disease.
Many of these diseases
may have arisen in the context of modern social trends. Perhaps the most
frightened is the HIV and herpes disease unknown before the last eight decades
of the twentieth century. This currently incurable virus has already infected
more than 80% of the ordinary young adults population in parts of the
sub-Saharan African an is rapidly spreading especially in the poorer and more
socially unstable part of the world. However, syphilis is potentially one of
the most controllable disease (STD). HIV is not nearly as transmissible as some
other STD’s e.g. hepatics or gonorrhea. It is the cofactors of other STDs that
largely explain the infectivity and prevalence of HIV.
According to the
national institute of allergy and infectious diseases (NIAID) 2005 the prevalence
of STDs shows 333 millions cases per annum. Anti-microbial treatment of some
STDs is becoming increasingly problematic some strains of gonorrhea and
chancrous are now resistant to all anti-biotic generally available in poorer
countries. Despite anti-viral agents (and their combination) that have been
developed to treat it, the vast proportion of STDs worldwide are not treated at
all. This is affected by the cost of treatment.
1.2 STATEMENT
OF THE PROBLEMS
This study attempts a
critical examination of the prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted
disease which causes problems like infertility, scarring of fallopian tubes,
sterility, heart problems and disorders of the central nervous system, sexually
transmitted diseases also causes pelvic inflammatory diseases, which can lead
to ectopic pregnancy or the formation of abscesses, cervical cancer, blindness
and even death.
1.3 PURPOSE
OF THE STUDY
The purpose of this
study is to:
1. Consider
factors or means of prevention and treatments of sexually transmitted diseases
(STDs) in Egor Local Government Area of Edo State.
2. Pre-disposed
youths to STDs.
3. To
assist partners or individuals in these localities discuss their sexual and STD
history before having sex and to consider getting tested.
4. To
help individuals that are sexually active to understand the symptoms and how
they are spread.
5. To
help the general population to understand the symptoms and how to diagnose the
diseases.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE STUDY
Sexually transmitted
diseases is not what can be sign handled, it is hoped that when study is
concluded suggestions will be offered to rewards the pr3eventive measures of
these disease by viewing some of the factors that propagate sex. This study
will also be useful to researchers, scientists in the discovery of the new ways
of treating some deadly STDs.
1.5 RESEARCH
QUESTIONS
For the purpose of this
study research questions were formulated.
1. Does
faithfulness to only one partner whose sexually transmitted disease states has
been proved by blood test prevent sexually transmitted disease?
2. Does
abstinence from sex if you are single prevent sexually transmitted disease?
3. Does
the use of anti-biotic help in the treatment of sexually transmitted disease?
4. Does
voluntary counselling and sex education of the youths aid in the prevention of
sexually transmitted disease?
1.6 SCOPE
OF THE STUDY
It is not an easy task
to go round the nook and cranny of Egor Local Government Area in searching for
information due to the fact that biological concept are being modernized as a
result of arising discoveries by researchers or scientists or biologist.
For one to get recent
information there is the need to go on line search via the Internet, which is
economically expensive and time consuming. To this end researcher has therefore
resolved to study how sexually transmitted disease can be prevented and treated
in Egor Local Government Area of Edo State. For example the purpose of this
research attention will be focused on youth, traders, civil servants, students of
secondary and tertiary institutions.
