Tune in to our latest episode with Dr. Ina Park, a nationally recognized expert on STIs, to learn why she is cautiously optimistic about the new data trends in chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. Dr. Park expertly navigates the report with our host, Tammy Kremer, explaining how the previous surge in STIs has begun to slow, while prevalence continues to be high in certain \u201cSTI microclimates." Dr. Park stresses the importance of maintaining momentum through increased testing, focused prevention efforts for disproportionately impacted communities, and reducing stigma around STIs. Listen in to discover how disease intervention specialists are battling syphilis on Native American reservations with plenty of penicillin, a trusty car, and heroic determination. Overall, Dr. Park envisions a world where discussing infections is as routine and stigma-free as talking about the common cold.   Read the transcript of the episode.  Links:  Connect with Dr. Ina Park on her website, LinkedIn, and Instagram  Resources mentioned in episode  CDC 2023 Sexually Transmitted Infections Report  Strange Bedfellows: Adventures in the Science, History, and Surprising Secrets of STDs  CAPTC-related training and resources  CAPTC Disease Intervention Trainings  CAPTC STI Clinical Training  Previous episodes with Dr. Ina Park  S4 E7 Dan Savage on the Magic Question \u201cWhat are you into?\u201d & Dr. Ina Park on How Providers Can Help  S3 E7: Breaking Down STI Stigma with Dr. Ina Park & Courtney Brame   S3 E3: Monkeypox, What's The Hype? with Dr. Ina Park  S1 E6: Fighting STIgma With Humor & Honesty with Dr. Ina Park  Bio of Guest:  Ina Park MD, MS, is the author of Strange Bedfellows: Adventures in the Science, History, and Surprising Secrets of STDs.
