Abstract:

The national reported rates of sexually transmitted infections (other than HIV/AIDS) in Ireland have been increasing over the last decade of the 20<sup>th</sup> century. Medical professionals and epidemiologists consider the rates of STIs as indicators of the proportion of the population engaging in 'high risk' behaviour. According to this hypothesis, an increase in reported rates reflects an increase in 'high risk' behaviours. This thesis will examine this relationship and determine the reasons for the increased reported rates in Ireland. This will involve an investigation into Irish sexual b

Abstract:

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have important consequences for individuals and society. Extensive literature has shown that various individual factors impact STIs. However, much less is known about their structural causes and how they affect sexual behavior and sexual network formation. In the first two chapters of this dissertation, I investigate how sex ratios and ethnic divisions affect sexual activity and the spread of STIs. In the third chapter, I analyze the effect of ethnic-based romantic homophily on STIs. I provide a brief description of each chapter below. Chapter 1. We e

Abstract:

Presently, clinical management of sexually transmitted infection (STI) is performed empirically, in the absence of microbiological diagnosis and consequentially the use of suboptimal antimicrobial therapy. Current diagnostic methodologies cannot facilitate the polymicrobial detection required to identify the potential multiple organisms that contribute to STI's. In order to meet this requirement a PCR coupled micro array capable of detecting the presence or absence of 23 organisms relevant to STI was developed and evaluated. This method was applied to explore the differential organism prevalen

Variations in the incidence and prevalence of diagnosed sexually transmitted infections (STIs) across racial and ethnic groups have been described in many western industrialised settings. The reasons for these variations are unclear. However, an understanding of their determinants is required in order to develop and refine targeted HIV/STI prevention interventions. This thesis brings together a collection of studies exploring the relationship between ethnicity and the epidemiology of STIs (including HIV infection). It is divided into three main sections.

Viral sexually transmitted pathogens, including herpes simplex viruses (HSV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are a major global health problem.

Therefore, it does not accurately reflect HSV-2 infection in humans. As such, a murine model of non-lethal STI using the flavivirus West Nile virus (WNV) has been

Abstract:

Sexually transmissible infections (STIs), one of the major preventable health problems affecting the Australian population, are often asymptomatic and, if undetected, can cause sub-fertility, infertility and chronic morbidity. In addition to these significant and costly consequences, STIs increase the risk of transmission of HIV. Given that 80% of Australian patients attend their General Practitioner (GP) each year, GPs are well placed to have a significant impact on STI transmission by diagnosing and treating both asymptomatic and symptomatic disease.
