Join us on April 10, 2024, for an up-to-date review of the causes and prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and the tests and treatments care teams can use to detect STIs and resistance markers. Ike Northern, director of infectious disease testing at CompuNet Clinical Laboratories, will discuss the public health impact and the etiologies, symptoms, and complications of STIs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and mycoplasma.

During the event, we’ll take a critical look at epidemiologic data to illustrate the scope of STIs across time and among populations. We'll also explore strategies to provide personalized STI treatment in the face of growing drug resistance.

Finally, we'll dive into laboratory testing for STIs, providing insights into detection methods, including testing thresholds and the identification of resistance markers, which are essential for devising effective treatment plans.

Join us to discover:

  • The common etiologies of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and their symptoms.
  • Historic and current epidemiologic STI trends and patient treatment options.
  • The latest laboratory testing tools and methods to detect STIs and resistance markers.
