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

Individual and population level impacts of illicit drug use, sexual risk behaviours on sexually transmitted infections among young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people: results from the GOANNA survey
Handan Wand,James Ward,Joanne Bryant,Dea Delaney-Thiele,Heather Worth,Marian Pitts,John M. Kaldor +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-sectional, community-based self-administered survey was conducted among young Aboriginal people aged 16-29 years of age, and participants who reported using illicit drugs were significantly more likely to engage in sexual risk behaviours and to ever have been diagnosed with an STI.

Human papillomavirus risk perceptions and relationship status: a barrier to HPV vaccination?
Erika L. Thompson,Cheryl A. Vamos,Rumour Piepenbrink,Mika Kadono,Coralia Vázquez-Otero,Sarah Matthes,Ellen M. Daley +6 more
TL;DR: Among unvaccinated women, relationship status and HPV risk perception were significantly associated, with dating women more likely to perceive a high risk for HPV compared to women in a committed relationship, and this association is not present for vaccinated women.

Application of electrospun fibers for female reproductive health
TL;DR: The current challenges in women’s reproductive health and the current state-of-the-art treatment and prevention options for STI prevention, contraception, and treatment of infections are presented and how the versatile platform of electrospun fibers can be applied are discussed.

Determinants of HIV Incidence Disparities Among Young and Older Men Who Have Sex with Men in the United States.
William L. Jeffries,Kevin M. Greene,Gabriela Paz-Bailey,Donna Hubbard McCree,Lamont Scales,Richard Dunville,Suzanne K. Whitmore +6 more
TL;DR: Young MSM were more likely than older MSM to experience depression, polysubstance use, low income, decreased health care access, and early ages of sexual expression, which likely converge to exacerbate age-associated HIV incidence disparities among MSM.

Sexually transmitted diseases among American youth: incidence and prevalence estimates, 2000.
TL;DR: Three STDs accounted for 88% of all new cases of STD among 15-24-year-olds in 2000 and emphasize the toll that STDs have on American youth.

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.

The epidemiology of genital human papillomavirus infection.
Helen Trottier,Eduardo L. Franco +1 more
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.
