Dear Sirs, Research info on STDs , 12/15/03--
I am doing some research and would like to know if you could provide some or all of the
following information in a web page or chart usable as a teaching aid for adolescents:1. A list of all of the sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and their acronyms.
2. A ranking of their current or historical or typical prevalence in the USA.
3. The laboratory testing regimen for each one excluding any treatment costs. If there is more
than one
test for a disease please list them according to "usually the first test" and assuming a "positive
result(s)" then
the order of those tests which "usually follow".
4. The relative assurance (quality, percentage) of the results of each test.
5. The typical, national average of each laboratory test cost, specifically excluding the
services of free clinics.
6. If the age of the patient is a consideration for the results/costs etc., use an age of 14-24
years.
7. The national average cost of usual treatment (drugs or other) if paid for by by patient.Thank you for your attention to this matter. If there are questions or concerns, you can email me (
please
use "reply to" so I will recognize the "subject") or you can call the number below. I would prefer
to
receive your information by email in any of the following popular file formats: (email, html, pdf,

would like an email to
