In the sexually transmitted disease (STD) surveillance system of Taiwan, only syphilis and gonorrhea are classified as notifiable diseases that should be reported at present, moreover, most of the STDs patients are not willing to see a doctor, they would buy ready-made medicine for treatment, and the doctors usually provide treatment according to the symptoms without conducting laboratory tests, so the original data of existing prevalence of STDs is insufficient. In order to complete the epidemiological data of STDs, the Centers for Disease Control developed the 'STD Sentinel Physician Surveillance Project' on November 20, 2003, and set up outpost surveillance sites to report symptoms, so as to master the basic data of STD epidemiology of Taiwan. |
