ABSTRACT
Practice recommendations for the evaluation of adolescents with urinary complaints advise taking a sexual history and testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In this emergency department chart review, 30% lacked a documented sexual history and 49% of sexually active patients were not STI tested, representing missed opportunities for diagnosis of STIs.

ABSTRACT
We surveyed 234 sexually active males aged 18-25 years about erectile dysfunction (ED). Thirteen percent reported ED, but rarely discussed this with medical providers; 25% reported ED occurring with condom use, which was associated with risky sex. Six percent used ED medications, rarely under medical supervision, and often mixed with recreational drugs.
