Nearly 30% of HIV cases are directly attributable to genital herpes. This is more than any other STI.
Yet herpes spreads without public health intervention.
We need to start talking about this.

What terrible news! 🚨
Facing increasing rates of #syphilis , including a tragic epidemic of #congenitalsyphilis , we now have a national shortage of long-acting #penicillin G.
This is a MAJOR problem. It should not be happening in 2023

This is the graph of a failing #publichealth system
Nice The Washington Post article on the tragedy of congenital #syphilis in the US
Poor prenatal care/testing is part of the issue, but >1/3 of cases still aren't treated despite diagnosis 🤯. #POCTs can close this gap #STItwitter
#IDTwitter #STITwitter tell me I’m not alone….was peeling potatoes and I immediately thought hmmm that looks like #syphilis rash
This is your scheduled reminder to always do a full neuro review of systems for anyone diagnosed with syphilis. Just had a patient with otic syphilis who had already received two shots and now has to undergo two weeks of IV therapy #STITwitter
Hi #IDTwitter #STItwitter - Looking for anonymised raw data on CT values for HSV, Syphilis, GC, CT, TV for genital, rectal, oropharyngeal swabs. Ideal datasets of say 100-200-1000 runs of qPCR. If interest there might be a paper in it....?
Two Pisces, with the same birthday, met on #STITwitter and the rest was trichostry. We spent a full day in Berlin to talk about STIs and advocacy with some of the best in the field Ismaël Maatouk
Great article from an amazing colleague Ace Robinson (he/él/il/ele) about rising syphilis rates featuring interviews from some great STI peeps and myself!
