"Every year 30 thousand patients with sexually transmitted diseases recorded in Armenia. However, this figure is only 40 per cent of the actual number of cases, since very often doctors provide treatment without informing our center," Gurgen Porsughyan, head of organization and methodology department of the Armenian Medical Center of Dermatology and Venereology told a press conference on January 25.

According to Vrezh Shahramyan, doctor, sexologist, lecturer at the Yerevan State Medical University, the only absolute protection from sexually transmitted diseases is responsibility of people for their actions.

Experts also mentioned that people's attitude to the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases recently changed. "If such diseases were treated almost by force before, now people are applying us voluntarily, " Gurgen Porsughyan said.
