Venerické choroby na Slovensku v minulosti a efekt „akcie PN“
Sexually transmitted diseases in Slovakia in the past and the effect of “Action PN”

Summary/Abstract: The study is devoted to the problem of the suppression of venereal diseases in Slovakia and the implementation of action PN. This anti-venereal action was implemented at the beginning of the 1950s in an attempt to stop the spread of venereal diseases in Czechoslovakia. The first stage was directed towards investigation of pregnant women to prevent congenital syphilis. The second stage involved mass screening of the population for syphilis in the selected age group. Almost 4.5 million people were screened in Czechoslovakia during action PN, and almost 18 thousand positive cases were found. The number of inspected people in Slovakia was lower than originally expected. The infected people had to receive obligatory treatment.
