Interesting work and easy enough to offer in practice. Have always recorded which arm got vaxed in the notes so maybe it’s even more useful now…

That means the CDC STD Labs that studies and monitors resistance in gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia have all been closed, the staff scientist who work there fired.
It means that we no longer have visibility on antibiotic resistance in those infections or any help to develop new diagnostic tests.
That’s not an area that the private sector has ever readily approached. There’s no money to be made in drug-resistance monitoring. @RobertKennedyJr @HIVpxresearch @LizHighleyman

Genuine urine sample from a young man today in clinic. My first instinct was that two days after St Patrick’s Day he was still excreting dye from some green cocktail or other delicacy. Any other thoughts?? 🤢

Ok so I didn’t realise it was a thing - but this patient had been using methylene blue as a health supplement. Thought it might be useful to raise awareness for those working in clinics - beware the blue-green urine samples!

✨10 days away from @HIVpxresearch & @imglobalhealth webinar on STI investments & diagnostics! Will will be discussing the gonorrhea lateral flow assay that was published on earlier this year! A great time to learn about some of the new tools being developed to better detect STIs

Since 2018, Sexual Health London (SHL) has provided 1.5million STI testing orders in London, UK. Positive chlamydia and gonorrhoea results were associated with non-cisgender women, high number of STI orders, non-UK born, and those collecting STI test kits from clinics.
