Nearly a million people acquire STD including HIV/AIDS daily. There are 90,000 people are living with HIV/AIDS in Malaysia. In pregnant women with untreated early syphilis, 25% of pregnancies result in stillbirth and 14% in neonatal death – an overall perinatal mortality of about 40%. Around 4000 newborn babies become blind due to maternal untreated Gonococcal and Chlamydial infections. More than 30 bacterial, viral, parasitic pathogens are transmitted sexually The victims suffer from mobility, disability and they are incapacitated.
