STIs

Listen Later

Sexually transmitted infections are a core part of gynecologic care. This episode provides a rapid-fire review of the most common STIs organized by diagnostic method – swab/urine vs. serum vs. clinical diagnosis – covering screening recommendations, classic presentations, and first-line treatments.

Show Outline:

  • Swab/Urine STIs
    • Chlamydia – Usually asymptomatic. Screen routinely. Can cause infertility/PID and Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome. Treat with Azithromycin ×1.
    • Gonorrhea – Often asymptomatic. Screen routinely. Can cause infertility/PID. Treat with Ceftriaxone + Azithromycin.
    • Trich – Frothy/watery discharge, “strawberry cervix.” Can see trich moving on wet mount. Treat Flagyl 2g PO once.
    • HPV – Cervical dysplasia/cancer and genital warts. Topical treatments as needed.
    • Serum STIs
      • Syphilis – Painless chancre → latent → secondary (palmar/plantar rash). If unsure of stage, treat as latent: PCN IM ×3.
      • HIV – Universal screening. PrEP if high risk. Referral to ID and counseling if positive.
      • Hep B – Treatable, not curable. Routine serum screening.
      • No Routine Screening (diagnose if lesion)
        • HSV – Antivirals for outbreaks; prophylaxis if frequent outbreaks or immunosuppressed. Valacyclovir or acyclovir most common.
