A sentinel surveillance system for the control of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) among foreigners was developed in Italy in 1991. From January 1991 to June 1995, 4030 foreigners with a new STD episode were reported. More than one-third of them were North-Africans. The most frequent STDs were non-specific urethritis and genital warts among men, and non-specific vaginitis and latent syphilis among women. The overall HIV prevalence was 5%, with large differences in rates in people from different continents. Very high HIV-positivity rates were observed among homosexuals and homosexual IDUs from Central-South America, with 39.1% and 77.8% seropositive individuals respectively. These data stress the need for increased knowledge of both the spread of risk factors for STDs among immigrants. Particular attention should be paid to counselling procedures focused on the prevention of risk behaviours for acquiring STDs and HIV infection.
1991年，意大利建立了一个用于监测外国人中性传播疾病（STD）的哨点监测系统。1991年1月至1995年6月，共报告了4030例新发STD的外国人。其中超过三分之一是北非人。男性中最常见的STD是非特异性尿道炎和尖锐湿疣，女性中是非特异性阴道炎和潜伏梅毒。总体HIV感染率为5%，不同大陆人群的感染率差异很大。中南美洲的同性恋者和同性恋注射吸毒者中观察到非常高的HIV阳性率，分别有39.1%和77.8%的血清学阳性个体。这些数据强调了有必要更多地了解移民中性传播疾病危险因素的传播情况。应特别关注以预防感染性传播疾病和HIV的危险行为为重点的咨询程序。
