Special
Focus Profiles
Introduction
The Special Focus Profiles section highlights trends
and distribution of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in populations
of particular interest for STD and HIV prevention programs in state
and local health departments. These populations are most vulnerable
to STDs and their consequences: women and infants; adolescents
and young adults; minorities; men who have sex with men (MSM);
persons entering corrections facilities; and populations in the
southern United States. The Special Focus Profiles refer
to figures located in disease-specific sections in the National
Profile. In addition, there are figures (Figures A-NN) that
highlight specific points made in the text.
