Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) cause tremendous morbidity, great costs, and numerous avoidable deaths in the United States each year. STIs in men can present as discharge, ulcers, papules, infestations, or systemic disease, but most commonly STIs present without any symptoms. Molecular techniques, single-dose antibiotics and antivirals, and patient-administered therapies present opportunities for enhanced diagnosis and treatment. Screening for STIs should be part of all primary care practices, specifically targeting high-risk persons and those diagnosed with another STI.
性传播感染(STIs)在美国每年都会导致巨大的发病率、高昂的成本以及众多可避免的死亡。男性的性传播感染可能表现为分泌物、溃疡、丘疹、寄生虫感染或全身性疾病,但大多数情况下,性传播感染并无任何症状。分子技术、单剂量抗生素和抗病毒药物以及患者自行给药的治疗方法为加强诊断和治疗提供了机会。性传播感染筛查应成为所有初级保健工作的一部分,特别针对高危人群以及那些被诊断患有其他性传播感染的人。
