Drug-resistant gonorrhea is rising—a serious threat to young people. Untreatable cases can cause infertility, PID & more. Protect yourself:
Condoms every time
Regular STI tests
Talk openly with partners
Knowledge + action = safety! #STIs #SafeSex
Exciting research here on the development and lab evaluation of #CRISPR #POC tests for #STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HSV 1 /2)
Also very interesting they could detect S91F to predict cipro resistance in #gonorrhea
POC tests for STIs can be game-changers in many settings
#STIsky #IDsky
📊 Key findings:
• Gonorrhoea prevalence was 1.0% in pregnant women and 9.4% in key populations (at higher risk for STIs)
• Chlamydia prevalence was high in both groups: 9.6% in pregnant women and 11.2% in key populations

If plans to “defund” Planned Parenthood succeed, #cancers go undetected, #STIs go untreated, and people will struggle even more to get #birthcontrol and other care.

I told my buddy Kai I couldn’t smoke weed with him this morning bc I had to go into #Seattle, and he said, “Well, be careful. There’s been a #syphilis outbreak in Seattle.”
What does he think I *do* in the city? 😆
I doubt it will affect my day much, tbh.

Babies are being born with syphilis in 2026.
It’s curable. It’s preventable. And it’s a public health failure.

• #Slut-shaming can be a fun, kinky, role-playing excercise for sluts who are confident and secure, but it's best to ask first before you start calling names.
• Sluts usually do their best to slow the spread of infections #STDs #STIs & keep things safe & fun for everyone involved.
Did you see that the FDA recently approved TWO new drugs for gonorrhea?! This is important because gonorrhea has increasingly become resistant to treatment.

➡️ Antimicrobial resistance matters - wider use could affect not only #STI bacteria, but also other bacteria in the body and the wider community.

What the evidence shows:
➡️ #DoxyPEP can reduce #chlamydia & #syphilis in specific groups, like: men who have sex with men & transgender women with a history of #STIs.
➡️ #Gonorrhoea is different. In most settings, high levels of tetracycline resistance = doxy-PEP is unlikely to reduce infections.
