#Syphilis and stigma: how cheating husbands are harming Indonesian women and babies

>Around 35 per cent of new #HIV cases in Indonesia are among housewives, government data revealed in May, a larger percentage than that of the spouses of sex workers or men who have sex with men.
The health ministry said the issue appeared to be linked to a lack of awareness around sexual health and the sexual behaviour of partners.

@slcw that's not correct; it's actually #robertfkennedyjr who's responsible for #diseases like #HIV #RSV #Syphilis #Chlamidia #SARS #Covid #Herpes and #Shingles

If he'd only learn to keep his dick in his pants.

Well, after all the shenanigans that ensued during this year's bear week in PV back the results just came in:

My boys and I tested Non-reactive across the board.

(I mean sure, we caught covid but thast not an STD.)

And you know what that means, I can go back to rawdogging my boys without worrying if I'm out of condoms.

WaPo: Syphilis cases are surging in the US, w/ babies being born w/ #syphilis. The fact that cases have climbed, experts say, is an indictment of the U.S. health-care system.

10 year anniversary of me getting my neck sliced into because I, a 23 year old barebacking sex worker at the time and super open with my provider, had not been tested for Syphilis. When folks say "know your status" don't ignore Syphilis! #STD #Syphilis

Syphilis in the US reached historic lows in 2000, and has increased every year since. A whole generation of physicians is now unfamiliar with the classic manifestations of #syphilis; in 2006, I saw several cases of secondary syphilis that had been misdiagnosed by other docs. The consequences of this ignorance are sometimes dire.
