“…One study reported that the prevalence of primary HIV infections was 38% among 84 HIV-negative travelers ( 29 ). Kutsuna et al found that there were 7 travel-related HIV cases in Japan from 2017 to 2019 ( 24 ). Moreover, Wu et al found that the HIV infection displayed a rapid increase among travelers from 2014 to 2018 in China ( 27 ).…”

“…In recent years, influenced social-cultural factors on HIV transmission grew out of a global concern, such as social inequalities (13), under-regulated clinics (14), child marriage, poverty (15), conflict (16), funding (10), immigrants (17), discrimination (18), and international travel (19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24). According to the World Tourism Organization, the number of international journeys exceeded 1.32 billion in 2017 and continued to grow (25).…”

ObjectiveThe prevalent international travel may have an impact on new HIV infections, but related studies were lacking. We aimed to explore the association between international travel arrivals and new HIV infections in 15–49 years aged group from 2000 to 2018, to make tailored implications for HIV prevention.MethodsWe obtained the data of new HIV infections from the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS and international travel arrivals from the World Bank. Correlation analysis was used to explore the relation briefly. Log-linear models were built to analyze the association between international travel arrivals and new HIV infections.ResultsInternational travel arrivals were positively correlated with new HIV infections (correlation coefficients: 0.916, p < 0.001). After controlling population density, the median age of the total population (years), socio-demographic index (SDI), travel-related mandatory HIV testing, HIV-related restrictions, and antiretroviral therapy coverage, there were 6.61% (95% CI: 5.73, 7.50; p < 0.001) percentage changes in new HIV infections of 15–49 years aged group associated with a 1 million increase in international travel arrivals.ConclusionsHigher international travel arrivals were correlated with new HIV infections in 15–49 years aged group. Therefore, multipronged structural and effective strategies and management should be implemented and strengthened.

“…Thus, collaborative investigations involving multiple healthcare facilities are necessary to obtain precise data on the incidence of travel-associated infections. To address this need, the Japan Registry for Infectious Diseases from Abroad (J-RIDA) was established, with the primary goal of documenting the profile of imported infectious diseases in Japan (4). In this study, we reviewed cases of travel-associated STIs registered in J-RIDA to assess the scope of travel-associated STIs.…”

International travel is a risk factor for acquiring sexually transmitted infections (STIs) owing to factors such as increased sexual opportunities, a sense of freedom, and the allure of the sex industry. We investigated the incidence of travel-associated STIs in Japan using data from the Japan Registry for Infectious Diseases from Abroad (J-RIDA) reported by 17 participating medical institutions between October 2017 and December 2022. Data were collected on the patients' age, sex, nationality, chief complaint, whether they had visited a travel clinic before travel, travel history, and final diagnosis. Of 4545 cases of travel-associated illness reported, 52 (1.1%) were STIs. Most patients with STIs were male (81%) with a median age of 31 years. HIV (17%), genital herpes (13%), syphilis (13%), and gonorrhea (12%) were the most frequently reported STIs. Only one patient had visited a travel clinic before travel. Promoting awareness and vaccination is crucial for preventing travel-associated STIs.
