چکیده

"The early stages of these'diseases often cause little disability and the sufferers put off seeking medical advice because they think the condition is trivial and will clear up by itself. Sometimes they try some sort of quack remedy-although it is illegal to sell such remedies nowadays. This sort of delay and these irregular methods of treatment bring disaster in their train. If sufferers wait till the later stages of the illness. have shown themselves-when they can no longer manage without medical help-all hope .of cure may have gone. "We cannot afford-especially at such a time as this-to have a single person off work on account of diseases that are readily diagnosed and amenable to treatment. So let's decide here and now that we shall no longer tolerate this hushhush attitude regarding venereal disease. With the help of an enlightened public opinion we could easily reduce these diseases to insignificant proportions, and I hope you will lend your support to our efforts to rid this country of yet another of its social plagues."

Other modes like oral-anal transmission should be considered.
