IUSTI Regions - Europe

Back to IUSTI - Europe region main page.

IUSTI guidelines are peer reviewed and are intended for use by specialists in the field of sexually transmitted infections. Nothing in these guidelines is intended to supersede or substitute for the normal doctor - patient relationship.

Current guidelines have been through a substantial editorial and peer review process. The 2008 agreed protocol for the production of European guidelines is available here. We provide the original guideline as published on this site (pdf format) together with a link to the subsequent formal journal publication in html format, where available.
