A. OPPHS conducts four basic activities pertaining to the control of venereal disease: (A) clinic services, which involve testing, diagnosis, and treatment of persons seen in the clinics; (B) epidemiology, which is the location and early treatment of sexual contacts of persons who have venereal disease; (C) screening, as a mechanism to discover infections in certain populations; and (D) education, primarily of patients, as to the nature of their disease. OPPHS administers these services through health units in all 64 parishes.
