Definition

  • Sexually transmitted disease (STD) screening plays an important role in reducing STDs among adolescents. STD screening refers to the process used to determine whether an individual has an STD. Early identification allows an infected person to begin treatment and prevents that person from infecting others. [Source: Encyclopedia of School Health; Sexually Transmitted Disease Screening]
