2018 must be the final target for polio eradication

摘要

Travellers often smile, listen with disbelief, or feel that their moral integrity has been impugned when clinicians offer advice on sexual risks (especially the recommendation to carry condoms). However, a review1 of travel and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) showed that 20% of travellers have casual sex, and half of these travellers had unsafe sex. In The Lancet Infectious Diseases, Alberto Matteelli and colleagues2 report that 974 of 112180 (0-9%) ill travellers who consulted a GeoSentinel travel or tropical centre had an STI diagnosed.
