With all the attention heaped upon the most deadly sexually
transmitted infection of all, HIV, other non-fatal forms of
infection have been somewhat neglected, and even overlooked in
sexual education. However, incidences of STIs such as chlamydia and
gonorrhoea have been dramatically and silently rising in many parts
of the world in recent years - though receiving far less attention.
It is now recognized that this is a major public health issue,
affecting thousands of people, irrespective of background,
education or social class.
In Sexually Transmitted Infections: The Facts, David Barlow, for
thirty years a consultant physician at a large London teaching
hospital, describes, in a readable, sensible and light style, the
common and rare conditions which are seen in clinic. Case histories
drawn from real patients illustrate many of the pitfalls and
problems that can arise from misunderstanding how diseases such as
herpes or genital warts are transmitted. An important and novel
section explains how and why the seemingly reliable tests from a
hospital laboratory can be misleading and, in many cases, actually
wrong. This new edition has been brought up-to-date with coverage
of the new HPV vaccine for cervical cancer, recent work on the
aetiology of bacterial vaginosis, evidence on the treatment and
management of genital herpes simplex, and a totally revived section
on HIV and AIDS.
Using the early section on symptoms, the reader is rapidly pointed
to the relevant section of the book for explanations and
reassurance. Providing essential information on all the main forms
of sexually transmitted infections, the book delivers essential,
accessible, pragmatic, information that should be read by all
adults.
