HIV infection and STDs are linked by common high risk behaviors. There is increasing evidence, however, that classic STDs and HIV infection interact in a bidirectional and mutually enhancing manner. Several prospective studies have demonstrated that STDs increase the risk of acquisition or transmission of HIV infection. Clinical studies have indicated that HIV infection may affect the clinical presentation, the clinical course, the diagnosis or the response to standard therapy of certain STD's. These studies provide compelling evidence that STD prevention and control are important strategies in HIV prevention.
艾滋病毒感染与性传播感染通过共同的高危行为相互关联。然而，越来越多的证据表明，典型的性传播感染与艾滋病毒感染以双向且相互促进的方式相互作用。多项前瞻性研究表明，性传播感染会增加感染或传播艾滋病毒的风险。临床研究表明，艾滋病毒感染可能会影响某些性传播感染的临床表现、临床病程、诊断或对标准治疗的反应。这些研究提供了令人信服的证据，表明性传播感染的预防和控制是预防艾滋病毒的重要策略。
