Newly diagnosed cases of sexually transmitted disease (STD) are reported by a network of 45 sentinel STD clinics throughout the country. A total of 10 253 patients were reported between September 1990 and December 1991. The most frequent diagnoses were genital warts (30.8%), non-specific genital infection (male) (12.8%), and non-specific genital infection (female) (11.5%). All patients were asked to undergo an HIV test; 68.4% accepted, of whom 9.3% were seropositive. During the 16\u2013month study period HIV prevalence decreased among IDUs and homo-bisexuals, but increased among non-IDU heterosexuals. These data suggest that STD patients may represent a useful early warning system to detect changes in the epidemic and in the spread of the virus among low-risk heterosexuals. A better counselling programme is needed to improve the acceptance rate of HIV testing among STD patients, and to draw more attention to at-risk sexual behaviours.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/095646249400500203","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,15]],"date-time":"2017-01-15T11:58:09Z","timestamp":1484481489000},"page":"93-100","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The National STD Surveillance System in Italy: Results of the First Year of Activity"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"B","family":"Suligoi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National AIDS Centre, Istituto Superiore di Sanit\u00e0, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Giuliani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National AIDS Centre, Istituto Superiore di Sanit\u00e0, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"N","family":"Binkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National AIDS Centre, Istituto Superiore di Sanit\u00e0, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"The STD Surveillance Working Group","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1994,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-095646249400500203","unstructured":"Law n.837m 25.7.1956: Riforma delta legislazione vigente per la profilasi delle malattie veneree (Reform of present legislation concerning prophylaxis of venereal diseases)."},{"key":"bibr2-095646249400500203","unstructured":"Ministerial Decree 15.12.90: Nuova definizione delle malattie infettive sottoposte a denuncia obbligatoria (New definition of infectious notifiable diseases)."},{"key":"bibr3-095646249400500203","first-page":"383","volume":"66","author":"Greco D","year":"1990","journal-title":"Genitourin Med"},{"key":"bibr4-095646249400500203","unstructured":"Mele A, Rapicetta M, Stroffolini T,  SEIEVA.
