Randomized trial shows the importance of STI prevention during pre-travel consultations, highlighting public health concerns.

This paper investigates the link between travel and the acquisition of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among at-risk populations.
Analyzed data from the WHO regarding STI acquisition rates globally and in Switzerland.
Identified high-risk populations for STIs related to travel.
Outlined the role of primary care physicians in providing pre-travel consultations focused on STI prevention.
Over one million STIs are acquired daily globally among individuals aged 15-49 years.
Certain travel-related populations, including men who have sex with men and business travelers, face heightened risk for STIs.
Integrating STI prevention into pre-travel consultations significantly reduces the risk of infection.
