Update on Sexual Transmitted Infections: Advanced and Interesting Cases
Originally Aired - Monday, May 22 • 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Location: Music City Center, Level 4, Grand Ballroom C
Event Information
Description:
Rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the U.S. continue to increase. Each year over 2 million STIs are reported, including over 600,000 cases of gonorrhea and 1.6 million cases of chlamydia. While most providers are easily able to recognize typical symptoms of STIs such as genital discharge, asymptomatic and atypical presentations often go undiagnosed with potential for long term complications. Uncommon STIs have limitations in diagnosis and are often based on clinical suspicion rather than reliance on diagnostic testing. Diagnostic testing can be complicated and limited, and the presenter will explore differences. Providers may be not up-to-date on current CDC recommendations for screening and treatment in the face of emerging antibiotic resistance. The context of spread of STIs will be explored including counselling, relationship structures, and sexual/gender diversity.
