AB •  Most  sexually  transmitted  diseases  (STDs)  are  asymptomatic.  Persons  with  asymptomatic  STDs  are  at  risk  for  complications  and  transmission  of  infection  to  others.•  In  some  cases,  screening  is  the  only  means  to  detect  and  treat  infection  to  prevent  adverse  outcomes.•  The  judicious  use  of  screening  tests  relies  on  appreciation  of  disease  epidemiology  and  accurate  assessment  of  a  patient’s  sexual  risk  behavior.
