Description:Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) constitute an epidemic of tremendous magnitude, with an estimated 15 million persons acquiring a new STD each year [1]. Effective clinical management of STDs represents a strategic element in prevention of HIV infection and in efforts to improve reproductive and sexual health. Clinicians who evaluate persons with STDs or those at risk for STDs should be aware of the current national guidelines for STD treatment. The 2002 Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines for the treatment of STDs provide clinical guidance in the appropriate assessment and management of STDs [2]. The scope and content of these guidelines continues to evolve, reflecting changes not only in clinical experience and epidemiology but also in changes in the health care environment and the circumstances under which clinical services are delivered.
