Past sexually transmitted disease (STD) control efforts in the United States of America have generally permitted a timely response to changes in intervention technology, antibiotic resistance, public funding, and media interest. Today, however, the expansion of STD organisms and syndromes at logarithmic rates has taxed our traditional labour intensive control approaches. We describe briefly the history of STD control strategies in the United States, discuss the seven components upon which current efforts are based, and speculate about our future programme initiatives.
过去，美国在性传播疾病（STD）防控方面所做的努力总体上能够及时应对干预技术、抗生素耐药性、公共资金以及媒体关注度等方面的变化。然而如今，性传播疾病病原体和综合征以对数速率不断增加，这使我们传统的劳动密集型防控方法不堪重负。我们简要描述了美国性传播疾病防控策略的历史，讨论了当前防控工作所基于的七个要素，并对我们未来的项目举措进行了推测。
