Some barriers for communicable disease.

What is the role of public health with communicable disease and how much the influence of other sectors should impact health decisions.
If we focus on sexual transited disease it is hard for me to separate them from the cultural and religious facts that influence it so much.
Can we create a change in health outcomes without creating a policy change? How can we separate, if its possible to do it, the medical decisions form the cultural factors that influence it....
In so many countries we are facing the dichotomy between a high number of sexually transmitted disease and there not so much that is done for the persons in charge of taking care of the health of the population.
Is abstinence a possible reality to combat it or we should start to take another approach to a raising problem?
