A comprehensive assessment of their epidemiological features and future trajectories is essential for informing targeted public health policies and achieving international control targets. Using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2021, we evaluated the incidence of five common STIs (trichomoniasis, chlamydial infection, gonococcal infection, genital herpes, and syphilis). We applied hierarchical clustering to evaluate regional temporal trends, decomposition analysis to identify drivers of burden variations, and frontier analysis to assess burden reduction potential relative to development levels. A Bayesian age\u2013period\u2013cohort model with integrated nested Laplace approximation was employed to project future age\u2010standardized incidence rates (ASIR) through 2035. In 2021, ~723 million new STIs cases were reported globally. Trichomoniasis accounted for the highest proportion of cases (46.60%), followed by chlamydial (32.70%) and gonococcal infections (12.40%). From 1990 to 2021, the global ASIR remained statistically stable (EAPC \u22120.02, 95% CI \u22120.07 to 0.03). Unsafe sex was the leading risk factor, accounting for 16.25% of global STIs\u2010related DALYs in 2021, with the highest attribution observed in high Socio\u2010Demographic Index (SDI) regions. Population growth drove 84.84% of the absolute burden increase. Notably, high STIs burdens persisted in regions like South Africa despite its relatively high SDI. While overall ASIR is projected to decline through 2035, a significant demographic shift is expected: the steepest decline is projected in the 20\u201324 age group, while increasing trends are predicted for the 40\u201344 age group and children aged &lt;\u20095 and 10\u201314 years. Despite stable global incidence, the shifting age profile and persistent regional disparities indicate that \u201cone\u2010size\u2010fits\u2010all\u201d strategies are insufficient. Public health interventions must be recalibrated to address the rising burden in middle\u2010aged populations and the specific needs of high\u2010burden regions to meet the WHO 2030 targets.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jmv.70937","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,25]],"date-time":"2026-04-25T13:55:39Z","timestamp":1777125339000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Epidemiological
