AB  - Chlamydia  and  gonorrhea  are  most  common  among  15-  to  19-year-old  women.Throughout  the  United  States,  medical  care  for  sexually  transmitted  diseases  (STDs)  can  be  provided  to  all  adolescents  without  parental  consent  or  knowledge.HIV  screening  is  recommended  for  patients  seeking  STD  treatment  in  all  health  care  settings.  The  patient  should  be  notified  that  testing  will  be  performed  unless  the  patient  declines  (opt-out  screening).Oral  antibiotics  are  no  longer  the  treatment  of  choice  for  gonorrhea  but  rather  ceftriaxone  parenterally.Many  STDs  occur  concurrently.  Therefore,  evaluate  and  treat  the  patient  appropriately  at  the  initial  examination.  Do  not  forget  to  recommend  treatment  for  sexual  partners.
