Patterns of sexually transmitted diseases have changed, but the incidence has not decreased. The commonest STD (nonspecific urethritis) has only recently become reportable. The ratio of gonorrhea to NSU has reversed. Common childhood diseases have now become sexually transmitted diseases, for example, molluscum contagiosum and warts. Some venereal diseases have become less virulent, but acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is almost uniformly fatal. Most infectious enteric diseases have now become sexually transmitted diseases. The key to eradicating STD is intelligent and persistent public health personnel. Some STD are multisystem diseases; a broad range of interested consultants will be useful to the family physician.
性病的流行模式发生了变化，但发病率并未降低。最常见的 STD（非特异性尿道炎）直到最近才被报告。淋病与 NSU 的比例已经颠倒。常见的儿童疾病现在已成为性传播疾病，例如传染性软疣和疣。一些性传播疾病的毒力已经降低，但获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）几乎是致命的。大多数传染性肠道疾病现在已成为性传播疾病。消灭性病的关键是聪明和坚持不懈的公共卫生人员。一些性病是多系统疾病；家庭医生将受益于广泛的相关顾问。
