The excerpt from Sex in America provides a lot of relevant details about sexuality and sexually transmitted diseases in the US. The author gives details of various STDs, including the preventive measures that have bene proposed. Looking at the list given in the document, I can say that most of them were known to me.  However, I was not aware of Granuloma inguinale as a sexually transmitted disease.
