Dear Colleagues,
Sexually transmitted infections including HIV are known to be primarily transmitted through sexual
route which has created a major impact on sexual and reproductive health worldwide. Some of the STIs
and HIV may also be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy and childbirth and through
blood products and tissue transfer. Although some of the STIs are curable but others still do not have
any effective preventive or therapeutics available such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV),
human papillomavirus (HPV), herpes simplex virus (HSV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV).
Globally, STIs and their complications rank in the top five disease categories for which adults and adolescent
seek health care. In addition, Antimicrobial resistance, in particular for gonorrhoea, is becoming
increasingly widespread.
There is pressing need to fill up the research gaps in our knowledge about the prevention approaches
among older adults, serodiscordant couples and determinants of vulnerability among young people
such as intergenerational partnerships.
The International Conference on “Emerging Frontiers and Challenges in Management and Control of
STIs and HIV” aims to provide and interactive forum to the researchers, public health providers and
policy maker who have been engaged in addressing the cutting edge issues related to mode,
mechanism and management of STIs including HPV, HSV1 and 2, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chancroid,
Trichomoniasis, Pubic Lice (Crabs) and HIV.
The program will feature state-of-the-art global research on challenges in control and management of
STIs and HIV research in basic, clinical as well as socio-behavioural sciences. It will dwell on
transmission, resistance to the therapeutics, disease progression, effects on fertility, development of
efficacious strategies for diagnosis, prevention, treatment and control stigma associated with sexually
transmitted infections. The risk of STI in teenagers adult males and females will also be addressed with
their association with cervical cancer, liver disease, pelvic inflammatory disease PID, infertility and
pregnancy problems.
On behalf of the organizers of the committee we are pleased to invite you to actively participate in the
conference and contribute towards defining a more focused and comprehensive research goal to thwart
of STI and HIV/AIDS.
