Archeological finds dating back to 515 BC indicate that sexually transmitted diseases have been around for a long time. However, the increasing incidence of these diseases and their relationship to infertility is of growing concern. Current estimates place those in the United States who are involuntarily sterile at 15–20%. In this article the author discusses the history of sexually transmitted disease, the major STDs that affect fertility, and pelvic inflammatory disease. This information can be used to develop comprehensive patient care plans and patient education
