Reconceptualizing Screening for Chlamydia Control: Process Considerations, Targets and Outcomes
September 25, 2014: 1:00PM – 2:00PM EST
by Edward W. Hook III, M.D.
STD Prevention Science Series - presented by CDC, Division of STD Prevention and the American Sexually Transmitted Disease Association (ASTDA)
Chlamydial infections are reported to be increasing in many developed nations, often despite control efforts using broad screening programs. These observations have been used to argue that such efforts are not an effective use of public health resources. In this presentation, chlamydia control efforts will be considered using a sexually transmitted infection (STI) cascade perspective to demonstrate opportunities for improving current chlamydia screening efforts. In addition, we will begin to consider whether chlamydia rates represent the appropriate metric for assessing the impact of current chlamydia control efforts.
Effective Interventions: Partner Services 
Thursday September 11th at 2:00 PM ET
Please join the Division of STD Prevention (DSTDP) on Thursday, September 11th at 2:00 PM ET for the Effective Interventions: Partner Services Webinar. The STD-AAPPS grant emphasizes effective interventions and program improvement. In support of this emphasis, authors from CDC, academia, and STD programs are writing a series of papers for the DSTDP Effective Interventions Research Synthesis Project. The Project will identify, catalog, and describe effective STD prevention interventions in a series of twelve papers and webinars. STD programs may choose among the identified interventions to enhance program improvement activities that are specific to their populations and disease burden.
The Partner Services webinar will be the first of a series sharing the findings of the Effective Interventions Research Synthesis Project. The presentation will provide a summary of the literature review and the Partner Services paper. Following the presentation, there will be a discussion about possible approaches to improving Partner Services.
The Effective Interventions: Partner Services Webinar requires registration. External Web Site Icon

  1. Implementation of community engagement methods (e.g. community-based participatory research) to achieve health equity;
  2. Identification and implementation of systems and environmental change strategies that (a) promote sexual health and support healthy behaviors and (b) facilitate community-clinical linkages to build support for interventions to prevent and reduce STI disparities;
  3. Enhancement and sustainability of partnerships;
  4. Support for communication strategies to promote STD program successes and leverage additional resources for STI control and prevention; and
  5. Evaluation of the efficacy of this approach and intervention implementation.

STD Prevention Science Series



The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of STD Prevention and the American Sexually Transmitted Diseases Association have partnered to bring you the latest research and best practices for STD prevention with the STD Prevention Science Series.
From Partner Services to Field Services: The Evolving Role of Public Health Outreach to Control HIV/STDs - March 13, 2014, by Matthew Golden, MD
Dr. Golden spoke about the evolving role of public health out¬reach in HIV/STD. Partner services have been a component of public health STD control since the 1940s, but were not initially widely employed to combat the HIV epidemic and were never adequately funded to meaningfully affect rates of chlamydial infection. The advent of expedited partner therapy for gonorrhea and chlamydial infection, a new national emphasis on the HIV care continuum, and HIV/STD program integration are now fundamentally altering the role of disease investigation and outreach in the control of HIV/STD, both in the U.S. and in low income nations.
Dr. Golden’s talk presented evidence supporting an expanded role for field outreach in the control of HIV/STD and discussed outstanding operational research questions that confront this area of public health practice.
Unpacking PID: Mysterious Microbes, Diagnostic Dilemmas and Triple Treatments - December 12, 2013, with Sharon L. Hillier, Ph.D. 
Dr. Hillier will provide an update on new data describing the etiology of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), a condition that affects an estimated 750,000 women in the US yearly. WhileChlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae are recognized as etiologic agents of PID, the data from recent studies of women having acute PID has demonstrated that fewer than half of women have one or both of these sexually transmitted pathogens. Most cases of nongonococcal, nonchlamydial PID are polymicrobial. Specifically, Atopobium vaginae, G vaginalis clade B, nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae, and other selected anaerobes are emerging as microorganisms which are present more frequently among women having histologically confirmed PID. These data have implications for the treatment of PID and prevention of infertility..
HIV Transmission Dynamics: From Viral Particles to Sexual Networks. Implications for HIV Prevention - September 19, 2013, with Thomas Quinn, MD, MS 
Dr. Quinn reviewed the current epidemiological trends in the global AIDS pandemic and recent findings in the dynamics of viral transmission from both a viral and population level perspective.
