STD/HIV Prevention Action: Let's Protect Each Other

Over the past several years, STD/HIV infections have affected millions of people throughout the world. These infections do not discriminate against the wealthy or the poor, but afflict many simply because they are not informed about the diseases and their prevention, in denial or refuse to protect themselves.

He encourages others to increase their knowledge about sexually transmitted diseases and then talk openly and honestly to sex partners, together formulating a STD/HIV prevention action plan. Dr. Frimpong combines global scientific literature, statistics, and field experience in the community while describing the

• Effects of STDs on male and female reproductive systems
• Behavior modification and treatments for sex partners
• Symptoms and treatment of STD/HIV
• Socioeconomic burden of the HIV epidemic around the world
