From the supplier: Canada has made considerable strides in its efforts against some sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), especially gonorrhea and syphilis. Chlamydia is also declining, although at a slower rate. Viral STDs such as HIV and genital herpes have probably not significantly dropped. Since viral STDs have no cures as of 1997, groups with high rates of these infection need enhanced efforts toward behavioral change.
