The incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STI) that occurred in Denpasar since 2010 until the year 2012 has increased. This study aims to provide an illustration of the incidence of STIs in Denpasar City in 2016 and its influencing factors. This was an analytical study of data derived from medical records of patients who performed STI examination at four public health centers (puskesmas) in Denpasar City from January to December 2016. Data were assessed by univariate and bivariate analyses using chi-square test. The results showed that from a total of 1,397 respondents, 18.2% were diagnosed as STI positives. The result of bivariate analysis showed that the significant factors for the incidence of STI were female sex worker’s customers (OR=2.3 95% CI: 1.7-3.2; p<0.001), employed respondents (OR=2.2; 95% CI: 1.7-2.9; p<0.001), male (OR=1.6; 95% CI: 1.2-2.1; p=0.001) and married (OR=1.4; 95% CI: 1.1-1.9; p=0.014). It is recommended that each puskesmas should conduct community outreach activities especially to female sex worker’s customers as one of groups with high risk of STI infections.
