Color Atlas & Synopsis of Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Third Edition (Handsfield, Color Atlas & Synopsis of Sexually Transmitted Diseases)

Yes, I would rather be uncomfortable and feel awkward talking about this with my kids than have them hear it from their friends! I suggest every parent has the "sex talk" with their children while showing them this book page by page, like I did. Do not be discouraged by the eye rolling, the attitude, or even the gagging expression from your kids, because this book does create an impression for them to at least "THINK" about the consequences of sex. Believe it or not, kids do listen to what you say to them. This book is now available in my home where my kids can get to it whenever they want to learn more about STDs (complete with nasty gross pictures that I'm sure will make them think long and hard before they decide to engage in irresponsible sex!). Best textbook I ever bought!

Exactly what I’m looking for. Very informative.

I purchased this book for my teenage son who is curious about sex. I want him to have lots of vivid pictures of the possible consequences that come along with becoming sexually active. The pictures and information in this book is exactly what I wanted to show him. Great way to get your point across.

I use this book as a SANE nurse. Wanted better pictures but great information.

I bought this book to use with my inmate substance abuse clients. I could not find an appropriate DVD to show sexually transmitted diseases but found this book. Several of the men stated they were going to remain celibate after having looked through the book!

Great resource for FNP boards. The pictures help getting an idea to know what to look for.

I leave this out as a coffee table book for all of the teenagers at my house - it's really gross and that is exactly what I was looking for, great disgusting photographs.

Awesome text, summaries pictures help gel huge amounts of information and standards of care. I use it as a SANE- A RN

性感染症のアトラス・要説としての大変有用である。クラミジア・淋病・梅毒などのメジャーな性病のみならず、本邦では稀な鼠径部肉芽腫、性病性リンパ肉芽腫、軟性下疳などの解説・臨床写真なども豊富で、値段を上回る価値がある。最近は外国人旅行者・患者が増えたためか、従来は見かけなかった性感染症に遭遇することもあるため、専門医は知識を持っておくことは不可欠であろう。ただ写真は、黒人のものが多いためか、発赤などの微妙な色調は、我々黄色人種とは異なるかもしれない。
