Abstract
When girls aged 15-19 attending a sexually transmitted diseases (STD) clinic in 1972 and 1982 were studied retrospectively, the prevalence of recognized STD declined both absolutely and as a proportion of the total women studied. The increased number of attendances was accounted for by "other conditions requiring or not requiring, treatment". An alternative approach for the classification of these conditions is proposed.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
