This webpage discusses the impact of incorrect penicillin allergy labels on treatment delays for syphilis patients. It highlights how mislabeling a patient as allergic to penicillin can result in suboptimal treatments and prolonged infections.
This guideline outlines the Doxy-PEP Protocol for the prevention of certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs), specifically targeting syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, following potential exposure. It provides guidelines for healthcare providers on how to administer doxycycline as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), detailing protocols for prescription, timing, and patient education to reduce the risk of infection.
This journal discusses the development of educational animations aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for women. The study explores qualitative research on how these animations can effectively communicate PrEP’s benefits, addressing barriers to its use and promoting better health decision-making. The research emphasizes the potential of digital health interventions in improving HIV prevention and the role of tailored educational content for enhancing women’s engagement with PrEP.
This article highlights groundbreaking research on tuberculosis (TB) treatment, revealing why a key TB drug remains effective against resistant strains. Rutgers Health researchers uncover the molecular mechanisms that enable this drug to combat TB bacteria, potentially inspiring improved treatments and drug development strategies. The findings emphasize the need for continued research to address antibiotic resistance and enhance global TB control efforts.
This toolkit serves as a comprehensive resource for communities affected by tuberculosis. It offers practical tools and guidance to support TB advocacy, treatment, and care, with a focus on marginalized populations. It also provides strategies for addressing barriers to care, promoting patient-centered approaches, and advocating for policy changes to strengthen global TB prevention and control efforts.
This journal investigates the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among women with vaginitis symptoms in a U.S. clinical study. Findings highlight the link between STIs and vaginal dysbiosis, emphasizing the need for comprehensive STI testing in this population.
This video-based HIV and STI prevention intervention designed for patients in STI clinic waiting rooms. This video aims to increase HIV treatment initiation and adherence as well as improve viral suppression and achieve undetectable viral load among patients.
This webpage highlights a recent study that reveals gaps in gonorrhea and chlamydia testing during pregnancy. It emphasizes the potential health risks these infections pose to both mother and child, urging the need for improved screening protocols. The study underscores the importance of regular prenatal testing to ensure better health outcomes for both.
