Ths article will cover, in detail, the traditionally defined venereal diseases, rather than all diseases (STD) that are epidemiologically noted to be prevalent in sexually promiscuous people or can possibly be spread through sexual contact. In this way, the difference between the spread of a disease like hepatitis B and syphilis can be better understood by the reader who reads this article , and Sexually transmitted diseases. Hopefully, by the time they are both fully written.Nancy Sculerati 08:25, 5 May 2007 (CDT)
