Sexual exposure to STDs including HIV and hepatitis is common. Sexual assault is also prevalent and should be screened for in a patient presenting for medical care after potential sexual exposure to STDs. Primary care providers should be familiar with current recommendations for STD prophylaxis and treatment after sexual exposure to STDs, and be aware that HIV postexposure prophylaxis is effective and available if indicated after sexual exposure to HIV. Providers should also be aware of the need for prompt referal for evaluation and medical care of the adult patient after a sexual assault.

Dementia syndromes usually consist of distinct clinical and pathological phenotypes. A careful history is required to document the onset and progression of symptoms to generate the differential diagnosis. New biomarker tests can provide evidence to increase diagnostic certainty. Disease-specific interventions, based on advances in genetic and molecular biomarkers, are likely to have the greatest impact when given in preclinical and early symptomatic phases.
