当前艾滋病的广泛流行有一种遮蔽其他性传播疾病感染持续威胁的趋势。一些性传播疾病是能够治愈的,但是,这可能恰恰是现今为何许多人已经变得疏忽和忘了自我保护的原因。例如,梅毒再次流行起来,并且全世界每年有以百万计的男女正在遭受感染。
同时,梅毒和其他性传播疾病使艾滋病病毒更容易地侵入人体,因而,它们也增大艾滋病病毒感染的风险。下面详细讨论最重要的能治愈性传播疾病。

Prevalence and Incidence of Selected
Curable Sexually Transmitted
Infections, WHO, 1999 |
|
The current AIDS pandemic tends to overshadow the continuing threat of other sexually transmitted infections. Some of them are curable, but this may be the very reason why many people have become careless and now fail to protect themselves. Syphilis, for example, is spreading again and is infecting millions of women and men every year all over the world. At the same time, this and other STDs make it easier for the “AIDS virus” to enter the body, and thus they also increase the risk of an HIV infection. The following sections offer detailed descriptions of the most important curable STDs.
