Abstract

We have prospectively determined the frequency of asymptomatic sexually transmitted diseases (STD) among patients seeking an HIV-test. In 246 patients, we observed 32 cases (13%) of asymptomatic STD, predominantly infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis or human Papillomavirus. STD screening is of significance among patients seeking an HIV-test.
