[edit] CLEAN UP!

Can someone put a chart or table on this article like the drug test article which shows how quickly you can get tested after exposure, the odds of catching each individual disease, and the method of testing?

It might be better to link to individual articles about each disease. The numbers vary substantially by test method and disease. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:34, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TERMINOLOGY

"STD" is a somewhat outmoded acronym. The preferred nomenclature should be "STI" (Sexually Transmitted Infections). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.100.197.60 (talk) 16:16, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
