Methods： STI reports and demographic data in Guangzhou from 2000 to 2003 were collected and analyzed using the National STD Computer Management Software. Results： The incidence rate of total STIs decreased.The incidence of syphilis, gonorrhea and condyloma acuminata decreased yearly from 41.71/100,000,70.13/100,000 and 83.02/100,000 in 2000 to 32.36/100,000,54.35/100,000 and 67.03/100,000 in 2003, respectively.The incidence of HIV/AIDS increased yearly.Nongonococcal urethritis （cervicitis） was the most prevalent STI. Conclusions： Incidence of STIs in Guangzhou is decreasing overall, but the incidence of HIV/AIDS is increasing and there is a change in the pattern of STI epidemics. Efforts should be made to keep the epidemic under control.展开更多
