Sexually Transmitted Infections01:26

Sexually Transmitted Infections

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...
Trichomoniasis01:18

Trichomoniasis

Trichomonas vaginalis is a flagellated protozoan parasite and the causative agent of trichomoniasis, one of the most prevalent non-viral sexually transmitted infections in the United States. This extracellular parasite primarily colonizes the lower genitourinary tract in women—particularly the vagina—and in men, the urethra and prostate. Its structural and functional adaptations enable its survival, motility, and pathogenicity within the host environment.Structural Features and Host EntryT.
Infection01:20

Infection

When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...
Standard Precaution01:26

Standard Precaution

Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...
Amebiasis01:28

Amebiasis

Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan parasite, is responsible for intestinal and extraintestinal amebiasis. Though a significant proportion of infections remain asymptomatic, approximately 50 million individuals annually are estimated to present with clinical disease, resulting in up to 100,000 deaths globally. The disease burden is disproportionately high in regions with lower socioeconomic status, such as parts of India, Africa, Mexico, and Latin America.Etiology and TransmissionThe infective...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • HIV Prevention
  • Clinical Implementation Science

Background:

  • Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a critical tool for HIV prevention.
  • Expanding PrEP access is vital for achieving national HIV prevention goals.
  • National initiatives aimed to enhance PrEP services within STI specialty clinics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess changes in clinic capacity and patient outcomes related to PrEP services.
  • To identify key implementation strategies for improving PrEP delivery in STI clinics.
  • To evaluate the role of the National Network of STD Clinical Prevention Training Centers (NNPTC) in supporting these efforts.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods evaluation approach was used, collecting data from January 2021 to December 2023.
  • Quantitative data included clinic capacity assessments and patient outcome measures.
  • Qualitative data involved thematic analysis of implementation strategies and NNPTC support activities.

Main Results:

  • Clinics reported increased PrEP prescriptions and enhanced capacity for PrEP services.
  • Five key implementation strategies were identified: navigation services, marketing, same-day initiation, long-acting injectables, and patient education.
  • NNPTC provided crucial training, technical assistance, and resources to address implementation barriers.

Conclusions:

  • STI clinics serve as essential sites for PrEP delivery.
  • Tailored implementation strategies and NNPTC partnership effectively expanded PrEP services.
  • Findings indicate opportunities to further improve PrEP access and strengthen national HIV prevention.
