TI  - Behavioral counseling to prevent sexually transmitted infections: U.S. Preventive 
      Services Task Force recommendation statement.
PG  - 491-6, W95
AB  - DESCRIPTION: New U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendations 
      about behavioral counseling of adolescents and adults to prevent sexually 
      transmitted infections (STIs). METHODS: The USPSTF reviewed the evidence on the 
      benefits and harms of counseling. The review included studies evaluating 
      behavioral counseling interventions conducted in primary settings, those judged 
      feasible in primary care, and those to which patients might be referred from 
      primary care. RECOMMENDATIONS: The USPSTF recommends high-intensity behavioral 
      counseling for all sexually active adolescents and for adults at increased risk 
      for STIs. (B recommendation) Current evidence is insufficient to assess the 
      balance of benefits and harms of behavioral counseling to prevent STIs in 
      non-sexually active adolescents and in adults not at increased risk for STIs. (I 
      statement).
