Saw a headline that said "STIs are on the rise in the US. A pill taken after sex could help slow them down."
But when clicking on the article, the opening sentence is, "As rates of sexually transmitted infections continue to skyrocket across the United States, a growing number of physicians are prescribing a commonly used antibiotic as a way to prevent chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis infections in gay and bisexual men and transgender women."
So immediately I'm wondering, "Is this reported rise only being seen amongst men or is it just men that have a readily available medical option?"
Still not entirely sure. Women are not mentioned in the entire article. But San Francisco is. A bunch of times.
So is this an everyone everywhere problem? Or is this a "men in San Francisco" problem? 🤔
