This information sheet provides details on Doxy PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) as a preventive treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. It outlines the necessary steps for individuals who have been exposed to an STI and may be eligible for doxycycline PEP.

This webpage provides information on early HIV-related mouth sores, including pictures to help with identification. It discusses common oral symptoms associated with early HIV infection, such as ulcers, thrush, and other lesions, and highlights their significance in early diagnosis.
This article highlights a new hepatitis C test that delivers rapid results without requiring a separate lab visit, improving access to early diagnosis and treatment. It emphasizes the importance of expanding testing efforts, particularly for high-risk populations, to support hepatitis C elimination. The article underscores the need for continued innovation in screening technologies to reduce barriers to care and prevent long-term health complications like liver disease and cancer.
This information sheet provides essential information about tuberculosis (TB), including its causes, how it spreads, and the differences between latent TB infection (LTBI) and active TB disease. It outlines testing methods, treatment options, and the importance of early diagnosis and adherence to treatment to prevent transmission.
This video features Dr. Charlene Flash discussing essential sexual health topics for healthcare providers, including HIV and STI testing, HIV stigma, PrEP, and U=U (Undetectable = Untransmittable). Part of the "Ask Me Anything About Sexual Health" series by KFF’s GREATER THAN HIV and CDC’s LET’S STOP HIV TOGETHER aims to educate providers while emphasizing the importance of consulting healthcare professionals for personal health decisions.
This video highlights the rules about who to screen and vaccinate for hepatitis B and how they are now more clinician-friendly.
This journal explores the evolution of HIV diagnostic testing, from early antibody-based methods to advanced molecular and rapid point-of-care technologies. It highlights the impact of these innovations on early detection, treatment initiation, and global efforts to control HIV transmission.
This webinar is about improving maternal health lessons learned from states addressing congenital syphilis.
This journal discusses the role of core group theory in understanding the transmission dynamics of mpox, emphasizing that the virus primarily spreads through sexual contact and behaves similarly to other sexually transmitted infections. It highlights how infection-induced and vaccine-induced immunity within high-risk groups have significantly reduced transmission, making future large-scale outbreaks unlikely, though continued surveillance and vaccination efforts remain essential.
