The venereal diseases gonorrhoe and syphilis showed again in GDR an increasing tendency concerning their frequency by the year 1974, after having reached a low point about 1967. Now they occur relatively constantly. This increase observed throughout the world is caused by acceleration, changes in sexual behavior, homosexuality, increased promiscuity, tourism and other factors. Numerous false diagnoses of syphilitic symptoms such as herpes simplex, balanitis, carcinoma of the penis, angina, haemorrhoides, anal fissure, drug eruption and others cause the delay in the diagnostics and false treatments. Penicillin represents the drug of choice nowadays. Strict registration orders, intensification of the interdisciplinary cooperation, strict investigation of the infectious sources and endangered contact persons as well as enlarged health and sexual education are suitable weapons in the fight against the spreading of the venereal diseases.
到1974年，性病淋病和梅毒在民主德国的发病频率再度呈上升趋势，此前在1967年左右曾降至低点。如今它们的发病相对持续。全世界观察到的这种增长是由性行为加速、变化、同性恋、滥交增加、旅游业及其他因素导致的。梅毒症状（如单纯疱疹、龟头炎、阴茎癌、心绞痛、痔疮、肛裂、药疹等）的大量误诊导致诊断延误和错误治疗。如今青霉素是首选药物。严格的登记指令、加强跨学科合作、对传染源和受威胁接触者进行严格调查以及扩大健康和性教育，是抗击性病传播的合适手段。
