SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE: A CASE STUDY OF EGOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, EDO
STATE
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

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.
