Description
The history of venereal diseases in Kenya and East Africa is reviewed. Charts and figures for venereal diseases in Kenya and Nairobi up to 1971 are presented. The argument has tried to show that besides being medical problems, venereal diseases are also social problems. As social problems, control of these diseases must have social dimensions. Recommendations for control of these diseases are presented which call for drastic reformulation of laws affecting communicable diseases.
