Over the past two decades the incidence of STDs has dramatically increased in the United States. Most patients with these infections present first to primary care physicians. All physicians must be familiar with the common STD syndromes and the indications for specific diagnostic tests in order to provide a comprehensive treatment plan. Primary prevention strategies based on patient education and secondary prevention through judicious use of screening tests in appropriate settings can also limit the morbidity associated with STDs.
在过去二十年中，性传播疾病（STDs）的发病率在美国急剧上升。大多数感染这些疾病的患者首先会去看初级保健医生。所有医生都必须熟悉常见的性传播疾病综合征以及特定诊断测试的指征，以便提供全面的治疗方案。基于患者教育的一级预防策略以及在适当情况下明智地使用筛查测试进行二级预防，也可以限制与性传播疾病相关的发病率。
