ABSTRACT
In the United States, there are currently more than 65 million individuals living with a sexually transmitted disease (STD), and approximately 19 million new infections will continue to occur each year. To decrease the transmission of potentially dangerous and life-altering STDs, self-disclosure of sexual and drug history and sexual orientation is paramount. This integrative review examines the concept of self-disclosure of STDs, suggests areas of additional research, and proposes a comprehensive public health campaign, with a specific focus on the recent human papillomavirus epidemic to improve the physical and psychological health of all individuals.
