HOW IS SYPHILIS PREVENTED AND CONTROLLED?
Prevention and control of STD can be viewed from the perspective of the individual at risk, who prefers to avoid infection or, if already infected, wants to prevent complications; and from the perspective of health care providers and prevention agencies, such as health departments. These perspectives overlap with one another. For example, health care providers are advised to routinely test patients at risk for gonorrhea, but sexually active persons can request testing when the provider does not take the initiative. Similarly, providers should promote condom use, but only persons at risk can choose to use them. Prevention of all STDs, including HIV, is comprehensively addressed in the Knol on safe sex.
