      abstract = {This study was conducted to know the sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevalence and its associated factors among patients attending sexually transmitted disease clinics at Sir Yahaya memorial hospital. The most commonly associated factor based on the research findings are multiple sexual partners among prostitutes, also men who have sex with men (MSM). Method of logistic regression is implemented for the analysis. The result of the study revealed that tribe (indigene and non-indigene) contributing 2.72 times higher for the odds or chances of contracting syphilis. Since most diseases are of social nature, information education communication (IEC) activities to improve the awareness in the community about sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and about risk factors associated with them should bring behavior related risk taking among people spreading sexually transmitted diseases (STD) in the community.},
