A sexually transmitted disease information supermarket. Michael Castleman, editor of Medical Self-Care, called ASHA “THE place to find out about STDs.” Free pamphlets are available on herpes, chlamydia, AIDS, pelvic inflammatory disease, and other forms of VD. Their VD National Hotline (800-227-8922; 800-982-5883 in California) can make local referrals to clinics and doctors, as well as answer questions about all STDs. The people and publications are uniformly knowledgable and friendly.
