Abstract
Control of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in adolescents is a primary responsibility of health care providers. Using the tools of history and physical examination, and drawing on the awareness of different stages of adolescent development, health care providers can define at-risk for STDs. This article discusses screening practices, disease control through reporting and preventive counseling, and treatment guidelines for common STD syndromes.
