USPSTF Recommendation on Behavioral Counseling to Prevent Sexually Transmitted Infections
JAMA
EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 11 A.M. (ET), TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 2020
Media advisory: To contact the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, email the Media Coordinator at Newsroom@USPSTF.net or call 202-572-2044. The full report and related articles are linked to this news release.
Embed this link to provide your readers free access to the full-text article This link will be live at the embargo time and all USPSTF articles remain free indefinitely https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/10.1001/jama.2020.13095?guestAccessKey=5b93af7a-aa96-4793-b5c1-506472b0d89c&utm_source=For_The_Media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_content=tfl&utm_term=081820
Bottom Line: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends behavioral counseling to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) for all sexually active adolescents and for adults at increased risk. Sexually transmitted infections are on the rise across the United States, with approximately 20 million new cases each year. If untreated, STIs can lead to serious health complications including infertility, AIDS and cancer. The USPSTF routinely makes recommendations about the effectiveness of preventive care services and this statement is consistent with its 2014 recommendation but differs by offering a broader range of effective counseling approaches.
