title: Reducing the transmission of sexually transmitted infections.
abstract: The incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) diagnosed in UK genitourinary medicine clinics has increased significantly over the past decade. Nurses are becoming more involved in developing and delivering interventions that aim to control the spread of STIs. A number of control strategies for STIs used by clinicians are reviewed in this paper.
