New CDC data shows a drop in STD rates after years of skyrocketing cases. But that progress is fragile and experts fear it could reverse if Trump reimposes the Title X rule, Rs cut public health funding or SCOTUS guts Obamacare's coverage of PrEP politico.com/news/2024/11/1…

My college roommate lost 90% of her farm just outside of Brevard. Some of my best college memories are our weekly tradition of opening up our suite to watch ER with a giant batch of baked ziti and margaritas. Help her and her sweet family rebuild: gofund.me/b36a6b5d

@AliceOllstein Yep. It’s the skincare routine videos on YouTube and TikTok. They highlight which brands can fix acne and which brands are cool (or “preppy”).

@Theresa_Chapple Yes! Most of the 50 days inpatient we accumulated after the NICU were RSV related. It’s hell when you’re just trapped watching monitors and trying to entertain a crawling toddler for days on end.

Throwback pic This is my baby 6 months after being hospitalized due to RSV. She was so used to getting so many breathing treatments that she could do it herself. When I hear "let's treat COVID like RSV and the flu" it takes me back to the days I spent praying in the PICU.

I @Pfizer including penicillin in their Super Bowl commercial seems like sleazy propaganda when we know they are the sole reason for a penicillin shortage in the US this year in the midst of a syphilis surge…#STITwitter

This is a failure of our public health systems. We need action and we need it now! Increased and sustained funding to local, state, and federal public health systems, investment in multidisciplinary teams to aid patients with syphilis (DIS and Case Managers) and inc awareness!@ID
IDSA@IDSAInfo

The rise in the number of babies born with #syphilis in the U.S., as reported by @CDCgov, is alarming and points to the need for more resources, including infectious diseases professionals. #ValueofID Our statement: idsociety.org/news--publicat…

NEW: CDC is sounding the alarm about congenital syphilis (when the infection is passed from parent to infant during birth) increasing tenfold over the last decade. “We need to do things differently because obviously what we're doing now is not working.” politico.com/news/2023/11/0…

Would love to see a link to that "Task Force." Apparently not easy to find. We asked @HHSgov @HHS_ASH to declare congenital syphilis a Public Health Emergency...crickets. You get the Public Health you pay for. @NCSDDC
Dr. Jono Mermin@DrMerminCDC

.@HHSgv established the National Syphilis and Congenital Syphilis Federal Task Force to address increases in CS, promote #healthequity, & share resources with disproportionately impacted communities. (2/3)
