Summary
250 million patients with sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are registered on the planet annually [1,2], which is an important problem of modern society. This figure does not include diseases such as genital papillomavirus infection, herpes and chancroid, the incidence of which was previously estimated by WHO at 30, 20 and 7 million new cases per year, respectively. STIs are a distinct problem of modern society, which is very sensitive to social distress in society. The urgency of STI problem is associated with a high risk of influence on the reproductive health of the population. A distinctive feature of STIs is that the gradual disappearance of symptoms leads to the transition of the disease into a latent form, so the sooner a diagnosis is made and treatment starts, the more probability of convalescence and less complications will occur [4,5,6,7]
