Methods: This study is a prospective, single-center, open-label, non-randomized controlled clinical study. There were two groups in the study. The patient group consistsed of 100 males who were diagnosed as ASPD with a clinical interview form. The control group consisted of 98 healthy males who did not have any psychiatric disorder. Dermatologic examination was performed, and clinical findings were recorded. Results: The mean age of the patient group was 21.96±2.40 (range 20-37) years. The mean age of the control group was 24.20±2.88 (21-36) years. The most common disease was gonorrhea (25%) followed by genital wart (11%), molluskum contagiosum (5%), HBsAg (4%), and HSV-2 seropositivity (4%) in the patients group. In the control group, HSV-2 seropositivity (4.08%), genital wart (3.06%), molluskum contagiosum (3.06%), and gonorrhe (1.02%) were commonly seen in the control group. STDs and/or BVTIs were found more common in the patients group (82%) than that in the control group (45.91%) (X2=30.62, p=0.000).
