morbidity and mortality throughout the world, the new edition of
ABC of Sexually Transmitted Infections is a much-needed
introduction and reference guide providing concise and practical
information on a range of conditions.
This sixth edition includes the latest guidance on the
prevalence, prevention and treatment of STIs, screening programmes
and new testing methods. It features new chapters on service
modernisation and new care providers, high risk and special needs
groups, the use of the internet for information and education,
systemic manifestations and sexually transmitted infections in
resource-poor settings. Contraception is also covered, reflecting
the increasing integration of STI and contraceptive services.
With an international authorship, the ABC of Sexually
Transmitted Infections is an authoritative guide and
reference for all practitioners, especially those providing
community based STI diagnosis and management such as GPs, primary
care physicians and contraceptive service providers. Junior
doctors, medical students, and nurses working in community or
specialist services will also find it a valuable resource as will
those working in the fields of obstetrics and gynaecology and
public health. This new edition also provides information useful
for new STI care providers such as pharmacists, those in the
voluntary sector and providers of STI services in resource-poor
settings.

"The BMJ do this very well - produce a short, sharp, focussed and generally excellent brief reference work on anything from accident and emergency to X-ray ... The book is almost faultless: failure to achieve ten out of ten is because of the lack of a glossary for the scores of technical terms. Each chapter is superbly, positively, and concisely written, with copious (and often gory) photographs, tables and figures." (British Journal of Cardiology, 2011)
