Data are insufficient regarding the use of other antimicrobial agents (e.g., ceftriaxone) for congenital syphilis in infants and children. These findings have been extrapolated to nonoccupational injection and sexual HIV exposures, including sexual assault. RR-7), CDC. Information on sexual behaviors and practices, gender of sex partners, menses, vaginal hygiene practices (e.g., douching), and self-treatment with medications should be elicited. If the last sexual intercourse was >60 days before onset of symptoms or diagnosis, the most recent sex partner should be treated. The red cells of an individual contain antigens on their surfaces that correspond to their blood group and antibodies in the serum that identify and combine with the antigen sites on the surfaces of red cells of another type. Wandeler G, Gsponer T, Bregenzer A, et al. Alternate Text: The figure presents an algorithm for evaluating and treating persons with possible nonoccupational human immunodeficiency virus exposures. A test-of-cure is not needed for persons who receive a diagnosis of uncomplicated urogenital or rectal gonorrhea who are treated with any of the recommended or alternative regimens; however, any person with pharyngeal gonorrhea who is treated with an alternative regimen should return 14 days after treatment for a test-of-cure using either culture or NAAT. Eur J Clin Microbiol 1984;3:1479. Acetylcholinesterase is present at all cholinergic junctions. Because incident HCV has not been demonstrated to occur in heterosexual couples followed over time (223,227229), condom use might not be necessary in such circumstances. The quadrivalent or 9-valent HPV vaccine is recommended routinely for boys aged 1112 years; boys can be vaccinated beginning at 9 years of age (http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/acip-recs/index.html). In areas where T. vaginalis is prevalent, men who have sex with women and have persistent or recurrent urethritis should be presumptively treated with metronidazole 2 g orally in a single dose or tinidazole 2 g orally in a single dose; their partners should be referred for evaluation and appropriate treatment. A fourfold change in titer, equivalent to a change of two dilutions (e.g., from 1:16 to 1:4 or from 1:8 to 1:32), is considered necessary to demonstrate a clinically significant difference between two nontreponemal test results obtained using the same serologic test. Changes in the state-level distribution of primary and secondary syphilis in the USA, 1985-2007. Follow-up of infants is recommended to determine whether the pneumonia has resolved, although some infants with chlamydial pneumonia continue to have abnormal pulmonary function tests later in childhood. Physicians and other health-care providers play a critical role in preventing and treating STDs. Tohme RA, Holmberg SD. Obstet Gynecol 2001;98:65663.

Low incidence and prevalence of hepatitis C virus infection among sexually active non-intravenous drug-using adults, San Francisco, 1997-2000. Several factors impact the medical recommendation for nPEP and affect the assault survivor's acceptance of that recommendation, including 1) the likelihood of the assailant having HIV; 2) any exposure characteristics that might increase the risk for HIV transmission; 3) the time elapsed after the event; and 4) the potential benefits and risks associated with the nPEP (312). The BD Probe Tec TV Qx Amplified DNA Assay (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, New Jersey) is FDA-cleared for detection of T. vaginalis from endocervical, vaginal, or urine specimens from women. TABLE 2. Bachmann LH, Johnson RE, Cheng H, et al. Compliance is likely to be better with doxycycline than tetracycline, because tetracycline can cause gastrointestinal side effects and requires more frequent dosing. Multiple studies have demonstrated that persons entering correctional facilities have high rates of STDs (including HIV) and viral hepatitis (http://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/Settings/corrections.htm), especially those aged 35 years (118).

Factors that might affect response to therapy include immunosuppression and treatment compliance. The efficacy of intrauterine devices for emergency contraception: a systematic review of 35 years of experience. Available data demonstrate that use of additional doses of benzathine penicillin G, amoxicillin, or other antibiotics do not enhance efficacy when used to treat primary and secondary syphilis, regardless of HIV status (406,407). Care systems for survivors should be designed to ensure continuity (including timely review of test results), support adherence, and monitor adverse reactions to any prescribed therapeutic or prophylactic regimens. C. glabrata and other nonalbicans Candida species are observed in 10%20% of women with RVVC. However, HPV can infect areas not covered by the condom and might not fully protect against HPV. These guidelines for the treatment of STDs are intended to assist with that effort. Interactive counseling approaches, such as high-intensity behavioral counseling (HIBC) and motivational interviewing, are effective STD/HIV prevention strategies. No controlled therapeutic studies for crusted scabies have been conducted, and the appropriate treatment remains unclear. J Infect 2005;50:37581. Clinicians should counsel symptomatic pregnant women with trichomoniasis regarding the potential risks for and benefits of treatment and about the importance of partner treatment and condom use in the prevention of sexual transmission.

Effects of recent sexual activity and use of a diaphragm on the vaginal microflora. No data exist on the use of dual therapy for the treatment of gonococcal ophthalmia. The creams and suppositories in these regimens are oil-based and might weaken latex condoms and diaphragms. Inadequate maternal treatment is likely if delivery occurs within 30 days of therapy, clinical signs of infection are present at delivery, or the maternal antibody titer at delivery is fourfold higher than the pretreatment titer. N Engl J Med 1985;313:1059-67. Update to CDC's Sexually transmitted diseases treatment guidelines, 2010: oral cephalosporins no longer a recommended treatment for gonococcal infections. Two types of HSV can cause genital herpes: HSV-1 and HSV-2.

A tale of two gonorrhea epidemics: results from the STD Surveillance Network (SSuN). For infections with more than one recommended regimen, listed regimens have similar efficacy and similar rates of intolerance or toxicity unless otherwise specified. Data to support use of alternatives to penicillin in the treatment of primary and secondary syphilis are limited. If follow-up is not possible, women without a history of treated syphilis should be treated according to the stage of syphilis. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2009;200:e417. Although adverse pregnancy outcomes, including premature rupture of membranes, preterm labor, preterm birth, intra-amniotic infection, and postpartum endometritis have been associated with symptomatic BV in some observational studies, treatment of BV in pregnant women can reduce the signs and symptoms of vaginal infection. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2003;188:83643. For communities and populations in which the prevalence of syphilis is high and for women at high risk for infection, serologic testing should also be performed twice during the third trimester: once at 2832 weeks' gestation and again at delivery.

A single dose of benzathine penicillin G 50,000 units/kg IM up to the adult dose of 2.4 million units in a single dose can be considered after the 10-day course of procaine penicillin. Reflecting concern about emerging gonococcal resistance, CDC's 2010 STD treatment guidelines recommended dual therapy for gonorrhea with a cephalosporin plus either azithromycin or doxycycline, even if NAAT for C. trachomatis was negative at the time of treatment (1). J Clin Microbiol 2012;50:346671. Diagnosis of C. trachomatis urethral infection in men can be made by testing a urethral swab or first-catch urine specimen. URL addresses listed in MMWR were current as of Increase in HCV incidence among men who have sex with men in Amsterdam most likely caused by sexual transmission. Allergic reactions with third-generation cephalosporins (e.g., ceftriaxone) are uncommon in persons with a history of penicillin allergy (428,430,464).

Presumptive treatment for N. gonorrhoeae might be indicated for newborns at increased risk for gonococcal ophthalmia who have increased WBCs (but not intracellular gram negative diplococci) in a Gram-stained smear of conjunctival exudate. Persons testing positive for HIV infection have unique needs. In some instances, NGU can be acquired by fellatio (i.e., oral penile contact), sometimes because of specific pathogens such as HSV, Epstein Barr Virus, and adenovirus (476); data supporting other Mycoplasma species and Ureaplasma as etiologic agents are inconsistent. Generally, exposed persons with written documentation of a complete hepatitis B vaccine series who did not receive postvaccination testing require no further treatment. As required by state law, these cases should be reported to the health department. In the presence of cervical friability (see Cervicitis), liquid-based cytology should be used; conventional pap testing might need to be deferred in the presence of heavy bleeding until cervicitis is treated. Reports should be made to the agency in the community mandated to receive reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Skin Therapy Lett 2012;17:14. Coexisting high-grade vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) and condyloma acuminatum: independent lesions due to different HPV types occurring in immunocompromised patients.

MMWR Recomm Rep 2006;55(No. For these reasons, routine screening and prompt treatment are recommended for all women with HIV infection; screening should occur at entry to care and then at least annually thereafter. This late stage of infection, known as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), develops over months to years with an estimated median time of approximately 11 years (289). To minimize transmission and reinfection, men treated for NGU should be instructed to abstain from sexual intercourse until they and their partner(s) have been adequately treated (i.e., for 7 days after single-dose therapy or until completion of a 7-day regimen and symptoms resolved). ", "Have your or any of your partners exchanged money or drugs for sex?

Engelberg R, Carrell D, Krantz E, et al. Diagnostic and treatment procedures for these organisms are reserved for situations in which these infections are suspected (e.g., contact with trichomoniasis, urethral lesions, or severe dysuria and meatitis, which might suggest genital herpes) or when NGU is not responsive to recommended therapy. Scott WJ, Eck CD. Long-term protective effects of hepatitis A vaccines: a systematic review. Am J Obstet Gynecol 1991;164(1 Pt 1):11320. Obstet Gynecol 1981;57:4850. Combinations of diagnostic findings that improve either sensitivity (i.e., detect more women who have PID) or specificity (i.e., exclude more women who do not have PID) do so only at the expense of the other. Although T. vaginalis may be an incidental finding on a Pap test, neither conventional nor liquid-based Pap tests are considered diagnostic tests for trichomoniasis, because false negatives and false positives can occur. Most mothers of newborns who acquire neonatal herpes lack histories of clinically evident genital herpes (373,374). If a treponemal test (e.g., EIA or CIA) is used for antepartum syphilis screening, all positive EIA/CIA tests should be reflexed to a quantitative nontreponemal test (RPR or VDRL). A randomized trial of enhanced therapy for early syphilis in patients with and without human immunodeficiency virus infection.

Kennedy MA, Sobel JD. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2001;184:85664. Many episodes of PID go unrecognized. All neonates with congenital syphilis and HIV infection should be managed similarly as neonates with congenital syphilis who do not have HIV infection. Viral culture isolates and PCR amplicons should be typed to determine which type of HSV is causing the infection. MMWR Morbid Mortal Wkly Rep 2011;60:9858, CDC. Cell growth occurs when the overall rate of cellular biosynthesis (production of biomolecules or anabolism) is greater than the overall rate of cellular degradation (the destruction of biomolecules via the proteasome, lysosome or autophagy, or catabolism). The primary risk factors associated with infection among adolescents and adults are unprotected sex with an infected partner, multiple partners, MSM, history of other STDs, and injection-drug use. Although the exact requirements differ by state, if a health-care provider has reasonable cause to suspect child abuse, a report must be made. Certain diseases (e.g., gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia), if acquired after the neonatal period, strongly suggest sexual contact. For more information, see Chlamydia, Treatment. MMWR Recomm Rep 2006;55(No. ", "What do you do to protect yourself from STDs and HIV? However, this regimen is more costly than those that involve multiple daily doses (518). Those without a history of treatment for syphilis should be offered treatment. Nonetheless, women with BV are at increased risk for the acquisition of some STDs (e.g., HIV, N. gonorrhoeae, C. trachomatis, and HSV-2), complications after gynecologic surgery, complications of pregnancy, and recurrence of BV (590593). Use a new condom with each sex act (i.e., oral, vaginal, and anal). Serologic testing should not be a barrier to vaccination. Riedner G, Rusizoka M, Todd J, et al. A definitive diagnosis of chancroid requires the identification of H. ducreyi on special culture media that is not widely available from commercial sources; even when these media are used, sensitivity is <80% (315).

However, a trial examining the effect of a diaphragm plus lubricant on HIV acquisition among women in Africa showed no additional protective effect when compared with the use of male condoms alone. Sexual contact should be avoided until patients and partners have been treated, bedding and clothing decontaminated, and reevaluation performed to rule out persistent infection. The presence of HBsAg and total anti-HBc, with a negative test for IgM anti-HBc, indicates chronic HBV infection. Several successful, innovative interventions to assist persons with HIV infection reduce the possibility of transmission to others have been developed for diverse at-risk populations, and these can be locally replicated or adapted (12,15,307310). If treatment failure has occurred with metronidazole 2 g single dose and reinfection is excluded, the patient (and their partner[s]) can be treated with metronidazole 500 mg orally twice daily for 7 days.

In addition, enteritis can be directly caused by HIV infection. In patients with large or extensive warts, surgical therapy, including CO2 laser, might be most beneficial; such therapy might also be useful for intraurethral warts, particularly for those persons who have not responded to other treatments. However, in some settings, approximately 50% of all M. genitalium infections are caused by organisms that are already resistant to azithromycin (282), and persons who do not respond to the 1-g azithromycin regimen generally do not benefit from retreatment with the extended dose regimen. Women with a specific diagnosis of chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trichomonas should be offered partner services and instructed to return in 3 months after treatment for repeat testing because of high rates of reinfection, regardless of whether their sex partners were treated (480). Although needle aspiration of buboes is a simpler procedure, incision and drainage might be preferred because of reduced need for subsequent drainage procedures. Limited data are available to support use of other parenteral second- or third-generation cephalosporins (e.g., ceftizoxime, cefotaxime, and ceftriaxone). Treatment of gonococcal conjunctivitis with single-dose intramuscular ceftriaxone. Although HIV-2 is uncommon in the United States, accurate identification is important because monitoring and therapy for HIV-2 differs from that for HIV-1 (305). In addition, CSF examination and retreatment can be considered for persons whose nontreponemal test titers do not decrease fourfold within 1224 months of therapy. For persons who are being treated for an STD other than HIV (or whose partners are undergoing treatment), counseling that encourages abstinence from sexual intercourse until completion of the entire course of medication is crucial.

In the future, oncogenic (high-risk) HPV tests might be considered for primary cervical cancer screening, but no such recommendation has been made by any medical organization. To maximize compliance with recommended therapies, medications should be dispensed onsite in the clinic, and regardless of the number of doses involved in the regimen, the first should be directly observed. J Infect Dis 2013;207:4936. However, a post-assault examination presents an important opportunity to identify or prevent STDs. However, during 20062011, the minimum concentrations of cefixime needed to inhibit in vitro growth of the N. gonorrhoeae strains circulating in the United States and many other countries increased, suggesting that the effectiveness of cefixime might be waning (118,540). Serosorting is not recommended for the following reasons: 1) too many MSM who have HIV do not know they are infected because they have not been tested for HIV recently, 2) men's assumptions about the HIV status of their partners might be wrong, and 3) some men with HIV infection might not disclose or may misrepresent their HIV status. Longitudinal evidence of increasing in vitro tolerance of scabies mites to ivermectin in scabies-endemic communities. Lesbians and cervical screening. Biologists working in this field collaborate with other scientists, usually chemists, to design drugs. Seroadaptive strategies for HIV prevention have largely originated within communities of MSM.

Neonates whose initial CSF evaluations are abnormal should undergo a repeat lumbar puncture approximately every 6 months until the results are normal. Because treatment failure usually cannot be reliably distinguished from reinfection with T. pallidum, a CSF analysis also should be performed; treatment should be guided by CSF findings. Counseling regarding the natural history of genital herpes, sexual and perinatal transmission, and methods to reduce transmission is integral to clinical management. All pregnant women should be tested for HIV infection during the first prenatal visit. Such persons should be managed in consultation with a specialist. The sensitivities of these glycoprotein G type-specific tests for the detection of HSV-2 antibody vary from 80%98%; false-negative results might be more frequent at early stages of infection (330,332,333).
