<![CDATA[Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain a major public health concern, particularly among young individuals of reproductive age. Educational attainment influences health behaviors, knowledge, and access to preventive services related to STIs. This study aims to analyze the influence of educational level on the incidence of STIs among individuals of reproductive age. A literature review method was employed using databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar to identify relevant observational studies. The selected studies included cross-sectional and other observational designs that examined the relationship between educational level and STI incidence. Data were synthesized narratively, and key findings from the included studies were reported. The results of five studies included in the review consistently demonstrated that individuals with lower educational attainment had a higher risk of STIs. The prevalence was approximately 18% among those with lower education compared to 11% among those with higher education (p < 0.001), and as high as 60% versus 40% in hospital-based populations (p < 0.05). Higher educational attainment was associated with better knowledge, safer sexual behaviors, and improved preventive practices. These findings suggest that educational level plays a significant role in shaping health literacy, risk perception, and access to STI prevention services. Individuals with higher levels of education are more likely to engage in preventive behaviors, thereby reducing the incidence of STIs. In conclusion, higher educational attainment is associated with a lower risk of STIs among individuals of reproductive age, indicating that education is an important factor in STI prevention. Further large-scale longitudinal studies are needed to strengthen causal evidence and inform public health interventions.]]>
