Individuals infected with hepatitis A who work in food establishments can spread it to customers and other employees. Although foodborne outbreaks of hepatitis A are uncommon, they can require intensive and costly public health efforts to control.
American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) developed a new STI screening practice manual to support family physicians educating their patients about STIs, obtaining a sexual history, and providing appropriate care. The manual features current recommendations from the AAFP, US Preventive Services Task Force, and CDC and preferred testing modalities for eight common STIs.
The opioid crisis in the United States has led to increased hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among younger populations of people who inject drugs (PWID) and other vulnerable populations, who often seek care at community health centers.
To expand use of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), interventions to increase PrEP awareness, should encourage health care providers to discuss PrEP, destigmatize PrEP use, and promote racial/ethnic equity in PrEP access. PrEP is a daily oral pill that reduces the risk for sexual acquisition of HIV by about 99% when taken daily as prescribed.
On September 18, 2019, Medscape published “Reimagining STI Clinics for a New Generation,” an article about efforts to fast-track clinic visits for patients who want to be tested for STIs.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published an online 2019 National Viral Hepatitis Progress Report to share trends in viral hepatitis vaccination efforts, and disease incidence and mortality.
