STIs Part I: Candidiasis, Trichomoniasis, and Bacterial Vaginosis
Show Notes

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just updated guidelines for sexually transmitted infections (previously sexually transmitted diseases) for everything but HIV. In this multi-part series, host Geoff Wall will break down what’s new and what’s changing in practice.

The GameChanger 
Maintenace treatment for recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis is marginally effective. The standard of care in the treatment of trichomoniasis is now metronidazole for seven days. Current data do not suggest routine treatment of male partners of women with bacterial vaginosis.
