Abstract
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) threaten men's reproductive health, but they are preventable. When the means to prevent STDs are unknown, unavailable, unused, or fail, STDs can threaten the health and fertility of both men and their sex partners. Other threats, such as environmental toxins which may affect men's offspring or reduce sperm count and consequently fertility, have not been consistently identified. If these latter threats exist, they may be preventable. Other reproductive system conditions, such as prostate and testicular cancer, may or may not be preventable, but they pose no risk to others. Since the advent of AIDS, greater attention has been focused upon STDs as primary reproductive health threats. STDs, STD-related infertility, how male reproductive health status affects family health, environmental threats to male fertility, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer are discussed.
