STD training resources online

The federal Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has announced a new on line resource guide for sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs). The information is useful to medical providers, the general public, community-based organizations involved in HIV/STD prevention, health educators and anyone else involved in HIV/STD matters.

To access STD 101 In-A-Box, go to http://www2a.cdc.gov/std101 and register for a password. Shortly after registration, you will receive your password via e-mail. For medical providers, an interactive clinical case management web site is available through the National Network of STD/HIV Training Centers. This site provides a variety of case scenarios that allow the user to select options on how to manage a STD patient.
