Getting Services to the People

Clinical services are the heart of most STD programs. Clinical service providers screen, diagnose, treat, counsel, follow-up, and refer. Making these services accessible and effective is crucial. Three elements contribute:

  • A program structure that can provide STD services to most people where they first seek care,
  • Public and private providers offering appropriate treatment, and
  • A steady supply of appropriate drugs to treat STDs.
