Where are the STD guidelines from?

  1. US Dept. of Health and Human Services

  2. IDSA

  3. CDC

  4. GOLD

The correct answer is: CDC

The correct answer is "C. CDC" because the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is a nationally recognized institution that provides evidence-based guidelines on the management and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The CDC is a reliable source of information for healthcare professionals to follow when managing patients with STDs. Option A, the US Dept. of Health and Human Services, and Option B, IDSA (Infectious Diseases Society of America), also provide valuable guidelines on various healthcare topics but may not be the primary authoritative source for STD guidelines as compared to the CDC. Option D, GOLD (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease), is a well-known organization that primarily focuses on guidelines for the management of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), not STDs.
