Dear #STI #STD family, today we lost our former Editor-in-Chief Julius “Julie” Schachter to complications from #COVID19.

To all those in our field whose lives he touched with his fierce spirit and love of #chlamydia, we know that you mourn him with us.

Rest in peace Julie.

Fanatic talk by @chloedurukan from @MSHCResearch providing evidence that #RGT for #Mgen using #doxycycline followed by 2.5g #azithromycin or #moxifloxacin for #macrolide-resistant strains, achieves microbial cure of 95% and 92%, respectively #isstdr2019 #IUSTIWorld2019

Lindsey Barbee from Washington showed median duration of pharyngeal NG infection of 9 weeks - this shows the need for testing and treatment #ISSTDR2019 #IUSTIWorld ⁦@CAPHRI_UM⁩

Say it louder Jørgen Jensen #Mgenitalium -> No testing of asymptomatics - no treatment asymptomatic partners - Restrict multiplex tests #ISSTDR2019 #AMRSTI #Guidelines

CLAP back at stigma! Sexual health for him and HERpes! No joke, let’s get SYPHILIS about it!! #FaceOfAnSTI #StopSTIgma @ISSTDRIUSTI2019 @EricPFChow @ChristianHoebe

[Nicola Low #EveryDayCounts #StillFBPE @nicolamlow]

THRILLING DEBATE "Among MSM, pharyngeal infection contributes more to population levels of #gonorrhoea transmission than urethral infection, rectal infection or both" Will they clash head to head or kiss and make up? @ISSTDRIUSTI2019 Wed 17 July 09:25 #ISSTDR2019 #IUSTIWorld2019
