| Summary: | This speech on venereal disease education uses as its focus this quotation from George Santayana, "Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it." The author presents a brief history of venereal disease education and statistics on the present rate of venereal disease. He concludes that past research and experience indicate that effective venereal disease education must be functional and practical. The following steps for practical venereal disease education are outlined and discussed: (a) the first step--preventive measures; (b) the recognition of signs and symptoms; (c) adequate medical care for VD, which requires adequate training by physicians in sexually transmitted infections; (d) the availability of addresses, hours, and procedures for adequate care; (e) casefinding, in which a detailed explanation to the patient for the reasons for and process of confidential casefinding is essential; and (f) emphasis on the fact that venereal disease can happen to anyone with one or more sex partners.
