Sex and travel.
Sexually transmitted diseases have been associated with travellers since they were first described. The scale of international travel has increased enormously in the past 50 years, enabling sexually transmitted pathogens to spread with unprecedented speed. This article assesses the importance of international travel as a risk factor for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among heterosexuals in the UK, and suggests possible strategies for the prevention of HIV infection in travellers.
