Those who are at risk to develop the problem should be encouraged to attend the screening.This should be anyone who could is or plans to be sexually active.Those already diagnosed with the problem are not at risk,because they already have the condition and are no longer at risk for developing it.Thus,it would not be beneficial for this population to attend the screening as they have already been diagnosed.Students who not sexually active do not need to attend the screening as they are not at risk for contracting an STD because they are not having sex.
