#IDSky
That comment needs to be read in the specific context of the discussion about genetics and pharmaceutical development. I entirely agree about the need for more RCTs, but we also need to understand human variability and the need for informed improvisation rather than a single best intervention.
📣Friedland on #host-directed therapies & #TB:
The study of physiology was central in the 20th century but now is something of a backwater, with attention focused on genetics & immunology to generate therapies. This must change..it impedes the development of effective HDTs.

Enjoyed your piece. I've often wondered why we treat asymptomatic GC/CT in men particular when we don't treat asymptomatic bacteriuria/bacteriasputia. I think we could use a bit more data for women in particular. We need to re-think STI strategies especially as gonorrhea becomes increasingly MDR
Indeed our comment in @cmicomms.bsky.social is a bit provocative 🫣 but it is perhaps needed to change well implemented habits...
Thanks to the editors and reviewers of @cmicomms.bsky.social for guiding us with Thibaut Vanbalen (recently elected @escmid.bsky.social STI study group) to this results.
A very interesting piece in @cmicomms.bsky.social by @infectiobxl.bsky.social questioning the utility of asymptomatic screening for STIs:
🤨 doesn’t reduce population risk
🤨 early recognition ❌ improves outcomes
🤔 leads to stigma, 💵, 💊

Provocative but convincing commentary in @cmicomms.bsky.social on whether gonorrhea/chlamydia should continue as the "STI exception" for asymptomatic screening/treatment. Other invasive asymptomatic pathogens (Strep pneumo, GAS, etc) have not found benefit #IDSky
