CDC's 2006 recommendations for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing state that all persons aged 13-64 years should be screened for HIV at least once, and that persons at higher risk for HIV infection, including sexually active gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM), should be rescreened at least annually (1). Authors of reports published since 2006, including CDC (2), suggested that MSM, a group that is at highest risk for…
The Estimated Direct Medical Cost of Sexually Transmitted Diseases Among American Youth, 2000
CONTEXT: Each year, millions of U.S. youth acquire sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Estimates of the economic burden of STDs can help to quantify the impact of STDs on the nation's youth and on the payers of the cost of their medical care. METHODS: We synthesized the existing literature on STD costs to estimate the lifetime medical cost per case of eight major STDs–HIV, human papillomavirus (HPV), genital herpes simplex virus type 2, hepatit…
Barriers to asymptomatic screening and other STD services for adolescents and young adults

Utilization of Preventive Medical Services in the United States
Differences between rural and urban residents in their utilization of three clinical preventive services—Papanicolaou screening tests (Pap smears) for women aged 18 to 65, mammograms for women aged 50 to 69 and flu shots for people aged 65 or older—were examined using a nationally representative sample from the 1994 US. National Health Interview Survey. Eighty‐two percent of urban women and 79 percent of rural women (P=0.11) had Pap smears. Sixty…
Sex Trading and Psychological Distress in a Street-Based Sample of Low-Income Urban Men
This article examines the relationship between sex trading and psychological distress and assesses sexual human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk behaviors and HIV seroprevalence in a sample of young men recruited from the streets of Harlem. The authors interviewed 477 men, aged 18 to 29 years, of whom 43 (9.0%) had received money or drugs in exchange for sex in the preceding 30 days and were categorized as sex traders. Psychological distress was…
Intersecting Epidemics -- Crack Cocaine Use and HIV Infection among Inner-City Young Adults
BACKGROUND AND METHODS: The smoking of "crack" cocaine is thought to be associated with high-risk sexual practices that accelerate the spread of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We studied 2323 young adults, 18 to 29 years of age, who smoked crack regularly or who had never smoked crack. The study participants, recruited from the streets of inner-city neighborhoods in New York, Miami, and San Francisco, were interviewed and …
High-Risk Sex Behavior Among Young Street-Recruited Crack Cocaine Smokers in Three American Cities
Since crack cocaine appeared in urban areas in the United States in the mid-1980s, reports have suggested that crack smokers may be at increased risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including infection with HIV, because they have multiple sex partners, trade sex for money or drugs, and rarely use condoms. A cross-sectional survey is being conducted in urban neighborhoods in Miami, New York and San Francisco--where crack use is common--to…
