Sexually Transmitted Infections (STDs) and Prevention

Even in the age of modern therapies including antisepsis and antibiotics in the light of current infection-immunological findings on the development and treatment, sexually transmitted diseases still play an important role, especially for certain risk groups. On the other hand, the basic treatability of infections such as AIDS, that were fatal for a long time, in many cases has now led to increased carelessness, as a result of which not only HIV infection and frequently co-acquired infections such as syphilis continue to be important infectious diseases even in developed countries, but also many diseases, that can be contained, in some cases are occurring more frequently again and causing corresponding problems. Therefore, it is and remains indispensable that doctors and sexual health personnel keep themselves constantly informed about the possibilities of transmission and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.
