International travel is a risk factor for acquiring sexually transmitted infections (STIs) owing to factors such as increased sexual opportunities, a sense of freedom, and the allure of the sex industry. We investigated the incidence of travel-associated STIs in Japan using data from the Japan Registry for Infectious Diseases from Abroad (J-RIDA) reported by 17 participating medical institutions between October 2017 and December 2022. Data were collected on the patients' age, sex, nationality, chief complaint, whether they had visited a travel clinic before travel, travel history, and final diagnosis. Of 4545 cases of travel-associated illness reported, 52 (1.1%) were STIs. Most patients with STIs were male (81%) with a median age of 31 years. HIV (17%), genital herpes (13%), syphilis (13%), and gonorrhea (12%) were the most frequently reported STIs. Only one patient had visited a travel clinic before travel. Promoting awareness and vaccination is crucial for preventing travel-associated STIs.
由于性机会增加、自由感以及性产业的诱惑等因素，国际旅行是感染性传播感染（STIs）的一个风险因素。我们利用17家参与的医疗机构在2017年10月至2022年12月期间报告的日本海外传染病登记处（J-RIDA）的数据，调查了日本与旅行相关的性传播感染的发病率。收集了患者的年龄、性别、国籍、主要症状、旅行前是否去过旅行诊所、旅行史以及最终诊断等数据。在报告的4545例与旅行相关的疾病病例中，52例（1.1%）为性传播感染。大多数性传播感染患者为男性（81%），中位年龄为31岁。艾滋病毒（17%）、生殖器疱疹（13%）、梅毒（13%）和淋病（12%）是报告最频繁的性传播感染。只有一名患者在旅行前去过旅行诊所。提高认识和接种疫苗对于预防与旅行相关的性传播感染至关重要。
