Abstract

The One Health approach emphasizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health in addressing complex health issues. This review explores its application for managing sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in India, synthesizing evidence on socio-cultural, environmental, and zoonotic factors influencing STI transmission. The review highlights how human–animal interactions, environmental conditions, and healthcare inequities contribute to STI vulnerability. Socio-cultural barriers such as stigma, traditional practices, and limited healthcare access significantly affect prevention and treatment outcomes. Integrating veterinary health, environmental health, and public health systems can strengthen STI surveillance and control strategies. Education and community engagement are identified as essential for improving awareness and reducing stigma. By advocating for multisectoral collaboration and identifying research gaps, the paper provides actionable recommendations for policy and education to improve reproductive health outcomes.
