18. CONCLUSIONS
Charo Monter Ardanuy
STDs ARE THE MOST COMMON
CAUSE OF VISITS TO THE
PHYSICIAN AFTER THE SEXUAL
LIFE HAS BEGUN.
THE IGNORANCE OF THESE
DISEASES CAUSES
CONFUSION AND FEAR WHEN
SEARCHING FOR TREATMENT.
THE LACK OF TREATMENT OR ITS
FOLLOW UP HAS SERIOUS AND
POTENTIALLY FATAL
CONSEQUENCES.
THE BEST PROTECTION IS
INFORMATION.
COMMITTED AND RESPONSIBLE
SEXUAL ACTIVITY.
