Sexually transmitted diseases
-
The Internet is increasingly used for the recruitment of sex partners, potentially leading to increased risks for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Less is known about the use of the Internet as a resource for STI education and prevention. ⋯ Among STI clinic clients in Denver, nearly half have access to the Internet. Sex-seeking appears to be most prevalent among MSM. Internet use for STI information is common among those with Internet access and even more widespread among those who access the Internet to seek sex. Research is needed to develop and evaluate Internet-based STI-prevention interventions.
