Abstract
Classical sexually transmitted infections (STI), namely, syphilis, gonorrhea, trichomonas, and chlamydia, are on the rise worldwide. Sporadic cases and outbreaks mostly in men having sex with men (MSM) are responsible for the current STI rebound. The loss of fear to acquire HIV, given the success of antiretroviral therapy as prevention, is the major determinant for increased sexual risk behaviors. The advent of chemsex and internet has further fueled the opportunities for STI spreading.
