Build a plan for Covid-19 home testing on reason, not politics - STAT - STAT Build a plan for Covid-19 home testing on reason, not politics - STAT - STAT Posted: 16 Nov 2020 12:00 AM PST J ohn Maynard Keynes once famously observed that there's nothing as disastrous as a rational investment policy in an irrational world. But when it comes to public health, rational policies make sense even in an irrational or chaotic time like the midst of a severe pandemic. When the government ignores rational health policy, and instead follows unsound ones, the effects can last longer than anyone expects. That's what happened with the federal government's unfounded resistance to home HIV testing, which cost millions of lives and trillions of dollars.

Putting up barriers to home testing would...

Cheat Sheet: STD Causes, Symptoms, And More - Cosmopolitan Philippines Cheat Sheet: STD Causes, Symptoms, And More - Cosmopolitan Philippines Posted: 30 Oct 2020 12:00 AM PDT Sexually transmitted diseases are caused by three things:  bacteria, parasites, and viruses. And the most common way to contract an STD is through unprotected sexual contact or having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who's infected.  In June 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that there are more than one million new cases of curable sexually transmitted infections — chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, and syphilis — among 15- to 49-year-olds every single day. If you do the math, that's around  376 million cases in a year. But one of the tricky things about sexually transmitted diseases is that rarely are symptoms obvious for women. According to dermatologist Dr. Gilbert Yang , "If a male gets an STI, okay, we'll treat. We'...

The CDC's letter also offers "Considerations for prioritizing STI testing if test kits are in short...

But that doesn't mean that other illnesses have disappeared. Many experts fear that in the absence of routine preventative healthcare visits, sexually transmitted infections, or STIs, have the potential to skyrocket. That concern, however, has created a new kind of market: one for at-home STI testing collection kits. "We noticed an explosion of STI at-home collection test kit sales starting in March," says Christina Song, a spokesperson for Everlywell. Along with companies like Fig, LetsGetChecked, and Nurx, Everlywell sells kits for collecting blood or urine that can be shipped back to a lab to get analyzed. "To be quite candid, we didn't get why," says Song. In theory, people shou...
