It’s #WorldSexualHealthDay!

Wearing this vintage 1980s health promotion badge today but now we have more options than ever for STI & HIV prevention: U=U, PrEP, PEP, vaccination, Doxy-PEP

Good sexual health is being empowered to enjoy the safe, pleasurable sex you want, without shame & stigma.

Sexual health research grants (HIV and STIs) are dropping like flies. HIV research is especially being targeted. The field is being decimated and I can't begin to explain how bleak the mood is, and the fear of what comes next after this #IDSky #HIVSky #SaveHIVFunding

One of the top 5 global antimicrobial resistance threats, Neisseria gonorrhoeae is not to be messed with. We have newer treatment options but still pharyngeal infections are hardest to treat. A reminder to do extragenital site testing and a test of cure for pharyngeal infections at 14 days #STISky

High prevalence of ceftriaxone-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Hanoi, Vietnam, 2023-2024

Ceftriaxone resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae is an escalating global health concern, threatening the efficacy of empiric treatment. In the Asia-Pacific region, a rapid surge in ceftriaxone resistance has been observed, primarily associated with the penA-60.001 allele.

“Anyone who has ever spent time searching for an apartment online will know that many Irish landlords don’t even feel the need to make their traditional rentals especially liveable — which does not augur well for a situation that is less liveable to begin with.”

Surrealing in the Years: Granny flat plan would have us living like garden gnomes

Relying on granny flats simply gives landlords more opportunities to screw renters.

The CDC is removing data sets that researchers widely rely upon because they include information on sexual orientation and gender identity. “It feels like they’re trying to will us out of existence,” one researcher tells @theresagaff.bsky.social:
