TLDR
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.Abstract:
BackgroundMost sexually active people will be infected with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) at some point in their lives. The number of STIs in the United States was previously estimated in 2000. We updated previous estimates to reflect the number of STIs for calendar year 2008.MethodsWe reviread more

Associations of body mass index with sexual risk-taking and injection drug use among US high school students.
TL;DR: For example, this paper found that overweight and obesity may be indicators of increased risk for HIV and other STDs among sexually active high school students, and that overweight was associated with injection drug use and injecting illegal drugs.

TL;DR: The goal of the Sexually Transmitted Infection Clinical Trial Group's Antimicrobial Resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) meeting was to assemble experts from academia, government, nonprofit and industry to discuss the current state of research, gaps and challenges in research and technology and priorities and new directions to address the continued emergence of multidrug-resistant NG infections.

TL;DR: It is shown that Trichomonas Asn-linked glycans (N-glycans), like those of HIV, bind the mannose-binding lectin (MBL) that is part of the innate immune system, which suggests that the anti-retroviral lectins have a modest potential for preventing or treating human infections with TrICHomonas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual coercion and sexual violence at first intercourse associated with sexually transmitted infections.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored whether sexual coercion or violence at first intercourse was associated with self-reported STIs, using nationally representative data from the United States National Health Interview Survey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mediation and moderation of an efficacious theory-based abstinence-only intervention for African American adolescents.
TL;DR: Abstinence-only interventions should stress the gains to be realized from abstinence rather than the deleterious consequences of sexual involvement.

TL;DR: This study provides the first direct estimates of HIV incidence in the United States using laboratory technologies previously implemented only in clinic-based settings and indicated that HIV incidence increased in the mid-1990s, then slightly declined after 1999 and has been stable thereafter.

TL;DR: Persistent infection with HR-HPVs is now unequivocally established as a necessary cause of cervical cancer and is likely to be responsible for a substantial proportion of other anogenital neoplasms and upper aero-digestive tract cancers.

Epidemiology of Genital Human Papillomavirus Infection
TL;DR: Strong epidemiologic and molecular data link HPV infection to cervical and other anogenital cancers, and the types of HPV most commonly detected in cancers are HPV-16 and HPV-18.

TL;DR: Overall, HIV incidence in the United States was relatively stable 2006–2009; however, among young MSM, particularly black/African American MSM, incidence increased and expanded, improved, and targeted prevention is necessary to reduce HIV incidence.
