2/28/03  Research info on STDs
Dear Sirs,
I am doing some research and would like to know if you could provide the following information:

    1.  A list of all of the sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and their acronyms.
    2.  A ranking of their current or historical or usual popularity in the USA.
    3.  The laboratory testing regimen for each one excluding any treatment costs.  If there is more than one test
    for a disease please list them according to "usually the first test" and assuming a "positive result(s)" then in
    order of those "usually following".
    4.  The relative assurance (quality) of the results of each test.
    5.  The typical, national average of each laboratory test cost excluding the expenses or services of free clinics.
    6.  If the age of the patient is a consideration for the results/costs etc., use an age of 14-24 years.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.  If there are questions or concerns, you can email me ( please use "reply to" so I will recognize the "subject") or you can call the number below.  I would prefer to receive your information by email in any of the following popular file formats: (email, html, pdf, doc, rtf, wps, txt) but I could receive a fax but you will have to call first so I can turn on the fax machine.  If you would prefer to mail the information I have provided an address below; but, I would like an email to confirm that the information is coming in the USPS.

Dear Sirs,
    I reviewed and searched your web site and couldn't find the answer to the question of: "What are the costs
of lab tests for the 25 STDs?"  or "laboratory test costs for STDs"?
    If kids are being indoctrinated into risky sexual behavior and into condom use in public schools why
doesn't anyone give ball park costs for checking for the acquired diseases?  I heard recently that one of
the lab test cost was between $500 and $1000.
    Suppose kids wanted to change/repent and abstain how can they know if they are carrying a disease that
can be deadly in a couple of years of non treatment?
