Risk groups for bacterial STD are among others persons in mobility as are traveler, tourists, seamen, airline personal. Their rate of infection depends on the number of sexual contacts, indiscrimination in the choice of partners and no use of prophylactic measures. Particular attention is to pay to prostitution, promiscuity in young people and alcohol drinking habits. Epidemiological data about the frequency of STD among traveler are scanty.
