Children
     
     Management of children with STDs requires close cooperation
between the clinician, laboratory, and child-protection
authorities. Investigations, when indicated, should be initiated
promptly. Some diseases, such as gonorrhea, syphilis, and
chlamydia, if acquired after the neonatal period, are almost 100%
indicative of sexual contact. For other diseases, such as HPV
infection and vaginitis, the association with sexual contact is not
as clear (see Sexual Assault and STDs).
