Abstract
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including traditionally curable diseases like syphilis and gonorrhoea, have seen a recent resurgence. Concurrently, newer atypical infections presenting as STIs have emerged, driven by changes in pathogen virulence, host behaviours, and environmental factors. The spectrum of STIs is expanding due to evolving behaviours, globalisation, and pathogen adaptability. This review aims to highlight key viral, bacterial, fungal, and enteric infections that are newly identified or increasingly transmitted through sexual contact, introducing the concept of sexually transmissible infections. Though sexual transmission plays a minor role in their spread, it cannot be neglected and thus requires heightened awareness among clinicians and public health officials to ensure timely identification, management, and prevention.

The Indian Association of Dermatologists, Venereologists & Leprologists (IADVL) is the national association of Indian medical specialists who manage patients with skin disorders, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or leprosy. The current member strength of the association is about 3800. The association works for the betterment of the specialty by holding academic meetings, printing a journal and publishing a textbook. The IADVL has several state branches, each with their own office bearers, which function independently within the constitution of the IADVL.
Established in 1940, the Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology (IJDVL, ISSN 0378-6323) is the official publication of the IADVL (Indian Association of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists).
