| Man refuses to believe he gave multiple women STD in viral text exchange - Fox News Posted: 27 Dec 2019 10:21 AM PST A man confronted by a woman who said he exposed her to an STD refused to accept the claim in a text message exchange that has gone viral. In a screenshot of the conversation posted on Reddit, the woman told the man she contracted chlamydia and that she was certain of who she got it from. HAWAII'S SPIKE IN STDs LINKED TO ONLINE DATING "I go get tested after each new person, and you were my most recent new unprotected hookup and I most definitely have chlamydia from it," she wrote, apparently on a dating app. The man, identified as Joshua, simply replied "Oh" to which the unidentified woman wrote, "No comment?" Joshua then explained that it was "pretty hard to believe" that she got the STD from him because "I haven't had any symptoms for a year." "Ok, well just telling you bc that's the results and literally haven't slept with anyone else and got checked before you," the woman said. "I'm not upset or anything but … just so you know." Apparently not fazed, Joshua continued to push back on the suggestion the sexually-transmitted disease came from him. "Not the first girl to come up claiming I gave it to them when I didn't so I could care less," he wrote. The woman replied, "Think what you want but getting checked is really easy and could protect you in the future."  "Not the first girl to come up claiming I gave it to them when I didn't so I could care less," the man named Joshua texted.

"Not the first girl".. well okay then, case solved you have it," a Reddit user commented. "Lol this guy thinks her not being the first girl to tell him he's spreading STDs is like an insult," another said. Many commenters pointed out how well the woman handled the conversation, despite the man's unbothered demeanor. "She's handling that pretty well. Especially after that last comment," one person wrote. One Redditor specifically addressed the man's claim that he didn't have chlamydia because he wasn't exhibiting symptoms.

Another added, "Chlamydia often shows no symptoms and is easily treated and cured so either way this guy is an idiot." One Redditor jokingly pointed out the silver lining: "On the plus side, he's probably going to end up infertile." CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP  |
| In Baltimore, less than half of MSM using PrEP screened for STDs - Healio Posted: 06 Dec 2019 12:00 AM PST  Despite clinical guidelines recommending they be screened biannually for STIs, less than half of men who have sex with men, or MSM, in Baltimore who were taking pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, for HIV prevention were tested for syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia upon PrEP initiation during a recent 30-month period, study findings showed. Researchers said the study was developed to "provide real-world estimates of STI screening and positivity among MSM PrEP users by PrEP visit, STI, and anatomic site." The study population included 290 MSM who initiated PrEP as part of a demonstration project implemented by the Baltimore City Health Department between Sept. 30, 2015, and March 31, 2018. Following PrEP initiation, the researchers calculated STI screening for syphilis and gonorrhea/chlamydia at all anatomic sites and positivity at PrEP visits up to 12 months. Just 43.1% of MSM were screened according to the PrEP clinical guidelines at initiation, the researchers reported. Among new PrEP users, 79.3% were screened for syphilis, 69.3% for urogenital gonorrhea/chlamydia, 55.9% for rectal gonorrhea/chlamydia and 69.3% for oropharyngeal gonorrhea/chlamydia. The researchers reported that 7.8% of participants tested positive for syphilis. Participants also tested positive for rectal (11.1%), oropharyngeal (7.5%) and urogenital (5%) gonorrhea, and rectal (11.7%), urogenital (5%) and oropharyngeal (1.5%) chlamydia. They noted that reporting anal and oral sex, as opposed to neither, was independently associated with STI screening at the PrEP initiation visit. They highlighted that STI screening rates were lower at the biannual PrEP visits, but positivity rates for syphilis and rectal gonorrhea/chlamydia were higher. "Our results suggest that STI screening, particularly rectal gonorrhea/chlamydia screening, among MSM PrEP users is lower than estimated levels needed to reduce STI transmission, and that providers may be following disparate guidelines on STI screening," the researchers wrote. "This underscores the need for provider training on PrEP clinical guidelines for STI screening. Future work should focus on identifying individual and provider-level barriers and facilitators to improve STI screening frequency among PrEP users." – by Marley Ghizzone Disclosures: Schumacher reports no relevant financial disclosures.
