Updates on Testing, Treatment, and Prevention of Sexually Transmitted Infections in the United States, 2025.

Abstract

There has been a substantial increase in the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and a widening gap in health care disparities over the past decade. New technologies, emerging public health research, and growing antimicrobial resistance have changed how practitioners counsel patients and diagnose and manage common STIs. Updating practitioners' understanding of best care practices for patients with STIs is crucial in averting preventable morbidity and mortality. This review covers important changes in the screening, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of common STIs over the past 5 years.
