title: [Sexually transmitted diseases in the united Europe at the threshold of the year 2000].
abstract: The potential for changes in the epidemiology and prevalence of Sexually Transmitted Diseases in the next decade are reviewed against the emerging demographic and political trends. Potential development of the specialty, together with increasing availability of diagnostic and screening techniques, will require that the principles of management of Sexually Transmitted Diseases are preserved and enhanced. The computer will become an important tool for all areas of physician activity. "Europe sans frontières" will be an opportunity for enhanced contact tracing facilities across a larger geographic area and provide a forum for enhanced public health education.
