Expert Teaches on Sexually Transmitted Infection Prevention

Expert Teaches on Sexually Transmitted Infection Prevention.  Until a few years ago, the only way to prevent sexually transmitted infections was through abstinence or condoms. But now, not only do we have Pre-exposure prophylaxis for prevention of HIV/AIDS but just this past summer, the CDC issued clinical guidance for using Doxycycline for Post-exposure prophylaxis for bacterial sexually transmitted infections.

Just in time too, because in the past few years, the rates of syphilis in the United States has been steadily increasing. Unlike in the 15th century, Syphilis is treatable now and very rarely fatal but it can go undetected and be transmitted vertically from mother to child. Sadly, rates of congenital syphilis has tripled in recent years.

To share how we can effectively prevent sexually transmitted infections using the modern tools in our toolbelt, We’ve invited one of Ohio State University’s experts. Dr. Francisco Magana is fellowship trained in Infectious Diseases and practices both Infectious Diseases and Primary care with particular interest in health equity for LGBTQ+ and LatinX communities.
