1 -- The emergence of HIV/AIDS has created a kind of “epidemiologic synergy” among all sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Other STIs facilitate the transmission of HIV/AIDS, and the immune suppression caused by HIV potentiates the infectious process of other STIs. Individuals who are infected with STIs are 2 to 5 times more likely than uninfected individuals to acquire HIV if they are exposed to the virus. The other responses do not provide the patient with necessary information about HIV risk.
