title: STD screening. Practical tips.
abstract: General practitioners can contribute to community STD control by using the important tools of a sexual history, appropriate examination and tests. These screening tools allow early detection of disease, in 'high risk' people, accurate diagnosis of people with signs or symptoms, examination of sexual partners and the provision of preventive education and counselling.
