The 1998 Guidelines for the Treatment of Sexually Transmitted Diseases

The 1998 Guidelines for the Treatment  of Sexually Transmitted Diseases are an update of the 1993 Sexually Transmitted Diseases Treatment Guidelines.  They were developed by CDC staff in consultation with a group of nationally recognized STD experts.  The recommendations are based on scientific evidence for outcomes of STD therapy:  cure, relief of signs and symptoms, prevention of sequelae, and prevention of transmission.  These guidelines are a critical source of clinical guidance available to all health care providers who see patients at risk for sexually transmitted diseases.
