Medical News Brief

STDs are hidden epidemics of enormous health consequence; hidden because many are reluctant to address sexual health issues in an open way. STD Surveillance Report 2010, Center for Disease Control and Prevention
Many Sexually Transmitted Infections are asymptomatic. Diagnosis of STD is an important tool for eliminating the reservoir of infection within communities: World Health Organization
The global HIV epidemic continues to grow with over 2.5 million new infections each year. AIDS epidemic update UNAIDS/WHO; 2010
Among the various possible modes of acquisition of HIV-1, the majority of new infections occur through sexual transmission across mucosal barriers.
