  1. Cảnh báo sức khỏe: Một người đàn ông ở Hà Nội đi khám vì các triệu chứng mờ mắt, đau hốc mắt và nhức đầu. Bất ngờ, bác sĩ chẩn đoán nguyên nhân là do bệnh giang mai.

    Đây là một lời nhắc nhở rằng các bệnh lây truyền qua đường tình dục (STDs) có thể có những biểu hiện phức tạp và không điển hình, ảnh hưởng đến cả thị lực.

  2. #Trump’s proposal slashes the #NIH #budget to $27B from ~$48B. The budget doc delivers a duplicitous rebuke to NIH, saying: “NIH has broken the trust of the American people w/wasteful spending, misleading information, risky research & the promotion of dangerous ideologies that undermine public health.” [written from Bizarro World]

    The budget purports to refocus the #CDC on #infectious #diseases, but slashes funding for viral #hepatitis, #HIV & #STDs, lumping them into a single program at $300M.

  3. Update. "#CDC's #STD Lab Shuttered by #Trump Layoffs"
    medpagetoday.com/infectiousdis

    "A critical laboratory for surveilling sexually transmitted diseases (#STDs) in the US has been lost in the Trump administration's mass layoffs…One of its most remarkable projects is a one-of-its-kind repository of 50,000 isolates of gonorrhea used to monitor antibiotic resistance, which is quickly becoming a global health concern. The lab has been doing this work for nearly 40 years -- but will now, at best, have a gap in data."

    "The analysis confirms previous public health findings that #AbstinenceOnly education programs don't succeed in reducing rates of #TeenPregnancies or #STDs. Moreover, public health data indicate that such programs 'have little demonstrated efficacy in helping adolescents to delay intercourse,' the authors write."

  10. HPV can affect and be transmitted by anyone, either with or without an uterus. Up to 35% of men would be infected during their lifetime, especially under 29. Vaccination is the only efficient protection against this potentially deadly virus, the condom isn't. 340 000 women die from it each year.

  11. Birth control is the practice of taking steps to prevent #pregnancy or #childbirth as a result of sexual activity. Birth control is often used synonymously with #contraception, but birth control technically includes such things as abstinence and the "rhythm method" which do not prevent conception. #Abortion is usually classed as birth control since it prevents a full term pregnancy.

    Some forms of birth control, such as the #condom, can help prevent transmission of #STDs.

    This article addresses both the social aspects of birth control and the medical aspects, including approximate effectiveness of each method.

  12. #Mississippi hit by 900% increase in #newborns treated for #syphilis
    "This seems like something that should have happened a hundred years ago, not last year," the state's former health officer said.

    The rise in cases has placed newborns at further risk of life-threatening harm in a state that's already home to the nation's worst infant mortality rate.

  16. A special note to all the people who spoke so sternly to me about #AIDS and other "#STDs" in my teenhood, solemnly warning that "it only takes one time to get #sick" and that I should #abstain or at the least use #protection, and who are now walking around in public places without #masking up against #COVID19 and other potential pandemics:

    Kindly STFU and get bent, #hypocrites, kthxbaiiiii #MaskUp

  17. btw A few years ago I went to #BurningMan where I spoke to people at a #PublicHealth exhibit. They were handing out free condoms -- and information. It turns out California (where a lot of attendees are from) sees a huge spike in sexually transmitted diseases (#STDs) shortly after BurningMan wraps up.
    Coincidence? I think not!

  18. CW: historical and contemporary fascism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia and genocide

    @WillRobinson One of the early targets of the fascists in 1930s Germany was the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (Institute for the Science of Sexuality), a #nonprofit research institute in #Berlin. That was the location of the infamous footage of the pile of burning books with a large crowd tossing more on that gets shown every time someone references #Nazi #BookBurning.

    The IfS was groundbreaking at the time for its research into the experience of #trans and #intersex people in particular, as well as its advocacy for what today would be called #LGBTQI rights. #transrightsarehumanrights #LGBTQrights #intersex

    It also offered a variety of other services, including access to #contraception, #counselling and treatments for #STDs and #alcoholism.

    It was led by a Jewish physician and researcher called Magnus Hirschfeld.

    It was targeted by the #fascists due to being both Jewish and LGBTQI-affirming.

    History may not repeat, but it does sometimes rhyme. These are disturbing times. It is time for more people (esp those not immediately threatened) to be explicitly #antifa, which simply means anti-fascist, and it includes a wide variety of actions and strategies, not only confronting fascists on the streets.

  19. @Nates1984

    If there are #Queer friendly clinics in your corner of the universe and you can afford it, please go to a #doctor who regularly works with #HIV / #STDs / #PrEP so they can measure your symptoms to see what’s going on inside your body.

    Things are better for our community than in the early days of #AIDS and those brutal first medicines, so take advantage of that.

    Hopefully they can get you back to having the happy, healthy, fun #Gay life your generation deserves to have.
