However, in their attempts to provide health care to this group, physicians must be familiar with the various lifestyles of homosexuals and the types of infection to which they are susceptible. This paper summarizes the results of recent studies and proposes guidelines for the prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted disease among homosexuals.
