A Review on Psychological and Social Stigma on Sexually Transmitted Diseases | Chapter 11 | New Visions in Science and Technology Vol. 6

 Even with a high degree of measures in place to combat sexually transmitted infections, sexually transmitted diseases continue to be a top cause of death around the world. Sexually Transmitted Diseases have a wide range of reasons that result in complications, psychological effects, social stigma, and early mortality. People are stigmatised psychologically and socially as a result of a lack of self-awareness, information about transmission, prevention and early identification, counselling, and treatment. We should also raise public awareness about the prevention, early treatment, and screening options accessible to people by reaching out to people in both urban and rural areas, as well as the educated and uneducated, young and elderly. People should be educated or counselled about sexually transmitted diseases in order to reduce the psychological and social stigma associated with them. The goal of this review article is to give us insight into how to remove psychological and social stigmas that people face as a result of a lack of self-awareness, understanding about transmission, prevention and early detection, counselling, and treatment.
