Test & Treat STIs

Three STIs: gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis, represent 2.5 million infections.

But we have great tests, we have great treatments for these infections.

Typically antibiotics that we give to people and within in a few hours the infection goes away. So, we have really good tools out there. We just have to access them and make sure that we can benefit from treatments that we have available.
