In this paper, the focus is on the topic of venereal diseases, with special emphasis on venereal diseases among seafarers. Venereal diseases have been a serious threat to the health of individuals for centuries, and seafarers are often subject to infection due to the conditions in which they work. In view of this, better education and information about venereal diseases is desirable, which should not only focus on knowledge about the existence of diseases, but also on ways to recognize the disease, symptoms and ways to treat the disease. All this for the purpose of timely and correct reaction of the subject to the new condition, but also to prevent the further spread of the disease. In this paper, the focus is on four of the many sexually transmitted diseases that exist, namely gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes genitalis and chlamydial infection as the most common. It is also crucial to raise awareness, promote vaccination and provide accessible health services with the aim of reducing infection and the impact they have on the individual.
