But how sad that this achievement is exceptional.
It should be normal - everywhere
Antenatal screening for syphilis is a programme that works - if implemented fully in a functioning health system

Denmark hasn't identified a single case of congenital syphilis since 2016
New research attributes this achievement to a comprehensive prenatal screening program.

sometimes the act of taking a sexual history carries more value than the answers you get.

🎙️ Beyond STI Testing: Why the Sexual History Matters in Infectious Diseases
If we’re going to test broadly anyway, why take a sexual history? Because it can guide prevention, uncover health concerns, and create a space for patients to talk openly.

Ok so here’s the deal, we now have TWO large randomized control trials that show no effect of MenB vaccination in protecting against gonorrhea, but influencers in the LGBT+ community continue to tout it as a viable option. The NHS clearly jumped the gun here but please top promoting this #STISky

STI rates coming down, but still lots of work to do. This is a combination of public health efforts, doxyPEP, regular screening and treatment, and expedited partner therapy. Congenital syphilis STILL INCREASING though and requires regular testing 3x in pregnancy where high rates of syphilis #STISky
CDC released provisional 2024 data on sexually transmitted infections (STIs). For the first time in years, overall reported cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, & syphilis are down ~9%. In 2024, over 2.2 million STIs were reported. That’s still 13% higher than 10 years ago.

Two examples sent to me in the last 4 hrs of ppl making assumptions about patients and providing inappropriate messaging. The first, saying hey to avoid a painful shot, try not getting gonorrhea. The second ppl assuming who HIV PrEP is for and who it’s not, in other words gatekeeping. #STISky #IDSky

We need to add "no homo" to things not to be said in a STI Clinic. I am a medical professional, I take my job seriously, I take no joy in looking at genitals in a physical exam. LGBT+ providers are some of the best in the field, so don't say this in the room with us, it's not ok. #STISky
