A tour of the causes, estimates, infections and trends of sexually transmitted diseases in the 21st century is made.

It is stressed that if social, demographic and migratory styles are maintained, the population exposed to sexually transmitted infections will continue to increase dramatically.

The burden of disease is particularly heavy in the developing world, but also in industrialized countries the burden of disease can be expected to increase due to the prevalence of incurable viral infections, trends in sexual behavior and increased travel.

Keywords : Sexually Transmitted Diseases; Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Viral; Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Bacterial; Demography.
