Features: This book introduces sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), a category of infectious diseases that are both ancient and constantly evolving. Gonorrhea has been prevalent in China for over 2,000 years, while syphilis, introduced from Europe, has been present in the country for over 500 years. Since the discovery of AIDS in 1981, it has been nearly 20 years. The harm of STDs is significant—it not only affects patients but also endangers and infects their children and those around them, causing harm to families and society. Additionally, STDs are a global epidemic, and their spread is closely linked to social culture, ideology, population mobility, and sexual lifestyles. This book covers the manifestations, clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and treatments for 14 types of STDs. It also introduces effective medications currently used to treat STDs, providing readers with comprehensive knowledge in this field.
