TL;DR: Sexually transmitted infections are common in the United States, with a disproportionate burden among young adolescents and adults, and public health efforts should focus on prevention among at-risk populations to reduce the number and impact of STIs.

TL;DR: In 2002, 2 million American women of reproductive age were infertile and men were also common among men as discussed by the authors, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conducts surveillance and research on the causes of infertility, monitors the safety and efficacy of infertility treatment, and sponsors national prevention programs.

TL;DR: A CDC-wide working group found that considerable gaps and opportunities exist in surveillance, research, communication, and program and policy development for the prevention, detection, and management of infertility.

TL;DR: Data was analyzed from a large prevention counseling trial that included baseline and 4 scheduled follow-up visits of patients in 3 sexually transmitted disease clinics to determine the incidence of new sexually transmitted infections during the year after a visit to the clinics.

TL;DR: On the basis of population estimates of chlam Lydia prevalence, the overall chlamydia burden in the United States decreased from 1999 to 2008, but there remains a need to reduce prevalence in populations most at risk and to reduce racial disparities.
