dc.description.abstractSexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are infections passed from one person to another during sexual contact though some are also passed from mother to child during pregnancy, birth or while breast feeding. STIs constitute an important public health problem. The early detection and treatment of STIs are important aspects of a comprehensive approach to reducing the spread of HIV. Although public-sector services are available even in the most resource-poor countries, they are not acceptable to many clients because they do not have appropriate health personnel or the necessary medicines. Private providers are often preferred because they are perceived to offer better access and confidentiality, and often have the reputation of being less stigmatizing than public sector facilities. However, many of these patients are not managed rationally as their management does not conform to stated guidelines. The main aim of this work was to determine the knowledge and practice of the community pharmacists on pharmaceutical care and syndromic management of STIs and assess the impact of training. The work also investigated the patronage of STI patients in health facilities, knowledge and practice of the general public as well as the quality of ciprofloxacin tablets in pharmacies in the State.en_US
