The O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law released three new documents to support the federal Ending the HIV Epidemic Initiative. The new briefs highlight critical actions to support two pillars of the EHE Initiative: scaling up pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use and using HIV cluster detection tools to respond to outbreaks more effectively. Big […]
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released a new Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) on pre-exposure prophylaxis awareness and use among men who have sex with men (MSM). Researchers examined PrEP awareness among MSM from 2014 to 2017 in 20 urban areas. During this time, PrEP awareness increased from 60% to 90%, and […]
While hepatitis A and B vaccines are recommended for men who have sex with men (MSM), vaccine rates among this group remain low. CDC would like to take this time to remind you to vaccinate men who have sex with men for hepatitis A, which is particularly important during the ongoing outbreaks in multiple states. […]
As has been repeated throughout STD Awareness Month, the rates of the three reportable STDs (syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia) are on the rise. And that includes rates of congenital syphilis—spread from a pregnant person to their fetus—which have more than doubled in the last four years to 918 reported cases in the most recent data […]
Did you know that in 2000, rates of syphilis reached historic lows in the United States? Since 2013, syphilis rates have increased in every region and in almost every race/ethnicity and age group across the U.S., and in 2017, more than 100,000 cases of syphilis in the U.S. were reported to the CDC. Rates of early […]
A new CDC analysis suggests that men who have sex with men (MSM) are at elevated risk for extragenital STDs (e.g. chlamydia or gonorrhea in the throat or rectum), which can be difficult to treat, lead to drug resistance, and increase the risk of HIV infection. Researchers used CDC’s National HIV Behavioral Surveillance data to […]
In the United States, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are on the rise, reaching record levels in 2017. Young people aged 15-24 account for half of new STIs each year, due in part to barriers they face in accessing sexual health services. Many young people are reluctant to seek sexual health services due to stigma or […]
Observed each April, STD Awareness Month serves to raise awareness about what sexually transmitted diseases/infections (STDs/STIs) are, how they impact our lives, and why it’s important to prevent, test for, and treat them. As such, NACCHO leverages this observance annually to bring attention to STDs/STIs and mobilize health departments to strengthen their prevention, testing, and treatment...
Northwestern University’s Institute for Sexual and Gender Minority Health and Wellbeing is requesting proposals from community-based organizations (CBOs) and other HIV service organizations to implement Keep It Up! (KIU!), an online e-health HIV prevention intervention, as part of their existing HIV testing services. The goal of this project is to understand how CBOs can best […]
