Resources For STD Prevention

Prevention of STD Resources

Preventing the spread of STDs requires planning and strategy. CDC and its prevention partners have created materials that can help you develop a prevention program in your organization. There are also management resources to help you achieve your prevention goals. Explore the links below for program management tools, prevention programs, client education materials, and much more.

CDC Guidelines and Recommendations for the Treatment of STDs

An essential part of a STD prevention strategy is to guarantee that the people you serve have the latest information on diseases that may affect them. The CDC releases information regularly that serves as guidance for clinicians and public health professionals. The organization released guidelines in 2015, 2018, 2020, and most recently in 2021. The latest materials provide information on what to do when STD clinical services are disrupted by the global pandemic.
