The CDC is at the forefront of efforts to manage and prevent STIs:
1. Surveillance: The CDC tracks the incidence and trends of STIs to identify outbreaks and target prevention efforts. 2. Clinical Guidelines: The CDC publishes the Sexually Transmitted Diseases Treatment Guidelines, which provide recommendations for diagnosing and treating STIs. 3. Public Awareness: The CDC runs campaigns and provides resources to educate the public about the prevention and consequences of STIs.
