title: Sexually transmitted diseases. Management and prevention strategies around the world.
abstract: Since 1982, the advance of HIV/AIDS infection has radically altered the management of STDs around the world. Prevention, especially in developing countries is paramount. A scientific basis for treatment coupled with epidemiology and case management is required. Discussion to the merits of different forms of treatment, classical clinical, etiological and syndromic management, and their evaluation, is described.
