And now for something completely different: #EntSoc25 Entomologists! Please contribute to the iNaturalist collection of pubic lice! It's mostly from the EU at the moment. www.inaturalist.org/taxa/395978-...

Surely every case of congenital syphilis could be prevented with tests and treatment but important message never the less....

Next up - interesctionality and inequalities. IUSTI2025

Very informative presentation by Kate Nambiar - common presentations in trans men accessing sexual health services #IUSTI

Fabulous presentation by Dr. Janet Wilson at IUSTI2025. We should treat BV as a neglected condition

Why does BV not resolve? Because of biofilms! #IUSTI

Partner treatment for BV works and is well tolerated #IUSTI25

With regards to BV there is correlation between male and female microbiomes. #IUSTI25

Serious adverse events associated with BV. However treatment has not changed or improved for 30 years. #IUSTI25

Good night, friends.
Tonight was deeply painful.

We at CDC do this work because we care.
It’s long hours, often feeling overworked and not enough pay, but we do it because we want to make the world a better place.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Also applies to job applications- make sure you change the institution names

Great to be in Athens for the 38th Annual IUSTI Europe Congress (International Union Against Sexually Transmitted Infection).

I’m presenting our work on Awareness, Attitudes and early Use of DoxyPEP in Ireland!

Regulatory barriers prevent good quality tests getting to market! The system needs to be reformed #IUSTI2025

We need to reduce the incidence of GC why we have drugs that work: in MGEN we need to reduce testing, and preserve the drugs that we have. IUSTI25 - amazing presentation by David Lewis

Cephalosporin resistance in Ng globally is a worry and there are lots of areas which we do not know what is going on #IUSTI25

We need regulatory reform for tests! IUSTI25

Tests are getting smaller, better, faster

Our lab tests are too sensitive and detect exposure and not infection #IUSTI25

Not every bug causes an infection! We don’t need hyper sensitive tests

What do we need for diagnostics? Tools to detect for resistance! The STI bugs travel together #IUSTI25
