The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the US Preventive Services Task Force have both issued guidelines about screening for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV. By eliciting a sexual history, understanding their patients' anatomy, and considering factors which may increase the likelihood of STIs and their sequelae, clinicians can implement a practical, evidence-based approach to STI screening.PMID:38331479 | DOI:10.1016/j.mcna...

Epub 2023 Nov 1.ABSTRACTProctitis is an inflammatory condition of the distal rectum that can be associated with common sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis. For persons presenting with ulcerative findings on examination, in addition to syphilis, Mpox, lymphogranuloma venereum, and herpes simplex virus should be in the differential. Providers should also be aware that there are evolving data to support a role for Mycoplasma genitalium in proctitis. Performing a comprehensive history, clinical evaluation...
