[Recent progress in diagnostic test of sexually transmitted disease].
In Japan, STD has widely spread especially in big cities and number of infected people have been increasing with HIV infection. Clinicians have to diagnose, treat STDs appropriately and educate the patients to cease the new infection. So I want to review how to use these tests as a screening or more specific situation.
