Abstract

Sexually transmitted infections are an important area of public health, requiring clinicians to be alert to their diagnosis. We present three issues that we consider pertinent: the Zika virus as a new sexually transmitted infection, hepatitis, including the epidemic hepatitis C infection in men who have sex with men that are HIV positive and the sexually transmitted hepatitis A outbreak verified in Europe, and the antimicrobial resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
