Description
Sexually transmitted infections continue to be a severe
health problem. In this talk I will present and discuss a
variety of explanations that have been advanced on why this
type of disease is so hard to eradicate, despite the fact
that the contact by which it is spread is far less frequent
than is the case with most other infectious diseases. We
conclude that several processes and mechanisms facilitate
the spread of sexually infected diseases, and that both
broad and targeted intervention is therefore needed to
eradicate such diseases.
