Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD)
The Sexually Transmitted Diseases Control Program's mission is to promote healthy sexual behavior and reduce the impact of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) in New York City. Trends in existing and emerging STDs are monitored and new knowledge about STDs, risk behaviors, treatment and prevention is gathered through research. The accumulated data is then used to develop future-looking policy plans.
The program also promotes behavior that prevents the spread of STDs, while diagnosis, counseling, and partner notification and referral are provided to those suffering from STDs. And finally we assure accessible health services. The connection between patients, health and social services is promoted and technical and clinical expertise is provided to the health care community.
