Venereology

Venereology is the branch of medicine that focuses on sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and related disorders. It involves the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infections that are primarily transmitted through sexual contact, such as syphilis, gonorrhea, and HIV/AIDS. Venereologists, specialists in this field, work to educate the public on safe sexual practices, promote screening and early treatment, and support public health initiatives aimed at reducing STI rates. Overall, venereology plays a crucial role in sexual health and welfare, addressing both medical and social aspects of STIs.
