T2  - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment of Sexually Transmitted Diseases
AB  - •  Because  new  sexually  transmitted  diseases  (STDs)  are  common  in  HIV-infected  patients,  regular  screening  and  timely  treatment  are  essential.•  Counseling  of  HIV-positive  patients  should  include  discussion  of  HIV-STD  interactions  and  risks.•  Both  genital  ulcer–causing  diseases  and  non–ulcer-causing  STDs  increase  HIV  transmission.•  Clinical  and  laboratory  findings  of  syphilis  in  HIV-infected  patients  can  be  challenging  to  interpret,  and  these  patients  require  close  follow  up.•  Prevention  of  human  papillomavirus  (HPV)–  associated  malignancies  requires  active  surveillance  in  HIV-infected  persons.•  Genital  herpes  and  syphilis  may  increase  HIV  viral  load,  lower  CD4  count,  and  hasten  HIV  disease  progression.
