Abstract:
The prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in homosexual populations is due to a complex interrelationship of host and pathogen factors. This chapter explores the risk factors, epidemiology, microbiology, clinical aspects, and prevention of STDs in homosexual youth. This discussion focuses on male adolescents, because STDs are uncommon among exclusively homosexual women.
