New CDC data shows a drop in STD rates after years of skyrocketing cases. But that progress is fragile and experts fear it could reverse if Trump reimposes the Title X rule, Rs cut public health funding or SCOTUS guts Obamacare's coverage of PrEP https://t.co/ZjV3klsnPX
My college roommate lost 90% of her farm just outside of Brevard. Some of my best college memories are our weekly tradition of opening up our suite to watch ER with a giant batch of baked ziti and margaritas. Help her and her sweet family rebuild: https://t.co/ftPdlEhx08
@AliceOllstein Yep. It’s the skincare routine videos on YouTube and TikTok. They highlight which brands can fix acne and which brands are cool (or “preppy”).
@AlisonFootman NC is one of the first states to allow for Medicaid coverage of extencilline as part of a broader effort to address CS https://t.co/NNqYCahudr.
@Theresa_Chapple Yes! Most of the 50 days inpatient we accumulated after the NICU were RSV related. It’s hell when you’re just trapped watching monitors and trying to entertain a crawling toddler for days on end.
I @Pfizer including penicillin in their Super Bowl commercial seems like sleazy propaganda when we know they are the sole reason for a penicillin shortage in the US this year in the midst of a syphilis surge…#STITwitter
This is a failure of our public health systems. We need action and we need it now! Increased and sustained funding to local, state, and federal public health systems, investment in multidisciplinary teams to aid patients with syphilis (DIS and Case Managers) and inc awareness!@ID
Need something to do this weekend? The public comment period on draft guidelines for doxy as STI PEP close next week. We’ve got a template and instructions to help you do it: https://t.co/Qq2Whp4sAW
Hundreds died last year from congenital syphilis in the US, and an ongoing shortage of the only drug that can prevent the disease is putting more lives at risk https://t.co/TPx7SPC6DY
Congenital syphilis has become more than ten times as common over the past decade, the C.D.C. reported. “The situation is dire,” said one expert. https://t.co/xsfJwzVE7A
NEW: CDC is sounding the alarm about congenital syphilis (when the infection is passed from parent to infant during birth) increasing tenfold over the last decade.
“We need to do things differently because obviously what we're doing now is not working.”

Would love to see a link to that "Task Force." Apparently not easy to find. We asked @HHSgov@HHS_ASH to declare congenital syphilis a Public Health Emergency...crickets. You get the Public Health you pay for. @NCSDDC
The number of babies born with congenital #syphilis has soared in the US, up 10-fold over a decade ago, a new @CDCgov report reveals. Amplifying the tragedy: Most of these cases could have been averted with proper & timely care. https://t.co/nJPPCh09rP
The world desperately needs new antibiotics for #gonorrhea. Looks like the first new one in decades may be on the near-term horizon. https://t.co/HYQ0Y1FBow
