 AB    HIV infection and STDs are linked by common high risk behaviors. There
       is increasing evidence, however, that classic STDs and HIV infection
       interact in a bidirectional and mutually enhancing manner. Several
       prospective studies have demonstrated that STDs increase the risk of
       acquisition or transmission of HIV infection. Clinical studies have
       indicated that HIV infection may affect the clinical presentation, the
       clinical course, the diagnosis or the response to standard therapy of
       certain STD's. These studies provide compelling evidence that STD
       prevention and control are important strategies in HIV prevention.
