Abstract
Dermatologists originally practiced venereology because many rashes were manifestations of secondary syphilis. Table 9-1 lists the standard venereal or sexually transmitted diseases. Many other diseases are commonly spread via intercourse and have been labeled “new” venereal diseases. They include herpes simplex, nonspecific urethritis, molluscum contagiosum, scabies, and pediculosis pubis.
