Abstract
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are commonly encountered in primary care. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the US Preventive Services Task Force have both issued guidelines about screening for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV. By eliciting a sexual history, understanding their patients' anatomy, and considering factors which may increase the likelihood of STIs and their sequelae, clinicians can implement a practical, evidence-based approach to STI screening.
