The most common reason for clients with sexually transmitted diseases

The most common reason for clients with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) to remain un-treated is:

1. Embarrassment and guilt
2. Inability to access health care services
3. Lack of knowledge concerning signs and symptoms
4. Insufficient respect for the seriousness of the disease

People often do not seek treatment because they are embarrassed to discuss sexual symptoms or concerns. They are also often hesitant to talk about their sexual behavior if they believe that it is not “normal.” Any sexual behavior that embarrasses the client often hinders the detection of an STD. While the remaining options may be factors for some individuals, they are not the most common reason for failure to seek treatment.
