STDs (and HIV/AIDS) are public health threats wherever there are risk behaviors and the potential for exposure, even in the remote Arctic. This Working Group will focus on surveillance methodologies and prevention and control interventions. Topics of importance will include the monitoring of findings and results regarding the strengths and weaknesses of current surveillance and prevention activities, as well as the identification of promising new directions and approaches to dealing with identified problems.
