Routine staining methods (haematoxylin & eosin & Warthin-Starry) can identify spirochetes on the surface of enterocytes.
Histologically, characteristic findings include a decrease in microvilli &a predominantly eosinophilic inflammatory infiltrate.

1) A common misconception in Asian Twitter & Reddit spaces is that AMs & WFs have lower rates of STDs than AFs, implying AMs are more incel than AFs. However stats from @CDCgov indicate otherwise. A long thread. #STDawareness #asian #asianmalewhitefemale #whitemaleasianfemale
2) The claim that AMs and WFs have lower rates of STDs than AFs come from this study by Hahm et al: guttmacher.org/journals/psrh/…, which found that AAPI females report STDs four times more than AAPI males & about 50% more than WFs. #AAPI #STDawareness #STDfacts #Asiansgonewild
3) However, if you look at Hahm et al's method of measuring STD rates, it's just a question asking if a doctor or nurse told the participant they had certain STDs, including HPV, bacterial vaginosis and nongonococcal vaginitis. guttmacher.org/journals/psrh/… #STDawareness #AAPI

I spoke with a former academic colleague today who had texted me a few days back for some advice but I forgot to call her back.
We didn't always see eye to eye when we worked together, but we always respected one other.

She was reaching out because her son had recently invited her in and told her of his attraction to other men.
He also told her that he had just had his first sexual experience, and the condom had broke.
He's only 20 years old.

He spoke with her 24 hours after it happened, and she was reaching out to me for advice, as her son wanted to get #HIV post-exposure prophylaxis (#PEP).
But he didn't know where or how to get it.
Despite being a family medicine doc, neither did she.

Brook Advisory Centres provided relatable sex-education information to young people, but their popular material sometimes resulted in criticism from politicians and the media. [THREAD]
#SexEd #HealthEd #SexualHealth
#SexEd #HealthEd #SexualHealth
Information on contraception and sexuality for young people has always been a contentious topic in the UK. Even today, sex education and relationships at school are hotly debated, and new guidance remains desperately limited.
The first UK institution to tackle this lack of information for young people was Brook Advisory Service in 1964. Their aims were to “educate young persons in matters of sex and contraception and develop among them a sense of responsibility in regard to sexual behaviours”.

A man came into our clinic to start #PrEP.
Almost 50 years old. Well educated. HIV negative.
In a romantic and sexual partnership with another man, also HIV negative.
No other sexual partners.
Doesn't smoke, drink, or use drugs.
Reports using condoms 100% of the time.

Tops most of the time with anal sex.
Sometimes bottoms.
But mostly enjoys oral sex and foreplay.
We discussed PrEP. Its effectiveness. Possible side effects. Pros and cons. Insurance coverage.
Many would ask "Why give this man PrEP? He's not 'high risk'."

The answer is simple.
PrEP is a #sexualhealth program. It's not simply for those whom medical providers deem to be "high risk."
He gets to choose the combination of #HIV prevention methods that are best for his sexual health.
If he feels he needs it, I trust him.

Ladies, let me reassure you--unless you are purposely wiping back to front, your hygiene isn't the problem.
A 🧵 on recurrent UTIs.
A 🧵 on recurrent UTIs.
1/ Is it really a UTI? The best way to know if you have a UTI is to get a urine CULTURE. This is NOT the same thing as when your pee is dipped in the office or the ER! A culture actually tells you what kind of bacteria it is, and what antibiotics will kill it.
2/There are a lot of reasons for it to burn when you pee that are NOT a UTI. STDs, soaps (baby wipes count) sometimes yeast infections or BV, bladder inflammation, urethral cysts, and if you're breastfeeding or menopausal, dryness from not having estrogen around.
Keep this on your radar, folks. Especially watch the language used to describe what's happening. @businessInsider #ForcedSterilizations businessinsider.com/ice-doctor-per…
Usually, "unwanted" is a dated term to describe an untimed, or unexpected, pregnancy. #SRHR #SexualHealth
Usually, it covers a lot of agency on the part of the person who became pregnant. In other words, someone who is able to become pregnant had a consensual sexual encounter, and that encounter resulted in an unexpected — or "unwanted" — pregnancy.
Today is the start of #SHW2020! Each day this week, I'll be tweeting about Britain's long, tempestuous and ever-so-slightly bonkers love–hate relationship with its #sexualhealth.
Darlings, brace yourselves. 💋 #SHW20

We begin with the Victorians, who, contrary to popular belief, were obsessed with sex. In the C19, the only known #STIs were syphilis and gonorrhoea. Diagnosis depended on observable symptoms (no blood tests/smears). Effective treatments were non-existent. Image: @ExploreWellcome
In 1864 the British government introduced the Contagious Diseases Acts, intended to protect the armed forces through 'regulation' of 'common prostitutes'. The Acts gave police almost-unlimited discretionary powers to arrest any woman they thought might be soliciting. Image: HCPP
We passionately advocate for #SexualHealth and contraception for women and men to make informed choices.

1/3 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Wednesday statement on sexual health during COVID-19, an important part of our overall health and wellbeing. Read in full here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/3 #Sexualhealth is an important part of overall health. But, sex can be complicated during #COVID19, especially for those without an intimate partner in their household or whose sexual partner is at higher risk for severe outcomes.
3/3 The lowest risk sexual activity during #COVID19 involves yourself alone. If you decide to have sex with someone outside of your circle of contacts, take steps to reduce your risks.

"If you're putting something — a part of your body or a toy — into a partner, you're a top." @MattBaume for @them. #sexualhealth #sexeducation them.us/story/how-to-t…
BTW, although it's not explicitly mentioned. That goes for #pegging, too. them.us/story/how-to-t…
What is pegging? Glad you asked! Pegging is when "a vagina-owning partner wears a harness, pops on a strap-on dildo ... gives their penis-having partner a lil' butt action." @paisleyrgilmour for @CosmopolitanUK. #queer #sexualhealth #SexEd

Oooh, lookie ... another goofy study!! :) The title of this one? "Attractiveness of women with rectovaginal endometriosis: a case-control study."

theguardian.com/society/2020/a…
"The study's conclusion was: 'Women with rectovaginal #endometriosis were judged to be more attractive than those in the two control groups.'" — @gabriellecj for The @guardian. #SexualHealth
The fact that this study — and the study at the center of #MedBikini — were both published in peer-reviewed journals says a lot about academia. The space has a dearth of women and BIPOC in it, and it shows. (I've already shared my views about that here: twannahines.com)

Looks like it's going to rain outside & @lifetimetv is currently airing a kink-friendly movie about open marriages. So, now I know exactly what I'm doing for the next 2 hours. 🍿
Couple A about Couple B's #OpenMarriage: "I didn't think they were the type." Well, sir, that's the thing ... You never really know who's kinky and who's vanilla. 👀
Everything is contextual anyway. I'm considered ...

What is HPV?
HPV stands for Human Papilloma Virus, it is one of the most common sexually transmitted infection, (STI) that affects both females and males.
There are different types of HPV. Some type causes GENITAL WARTS, others cause CERVICAL CANCER. @NaijaObgyn @ojayfemi

Note that HPV is a different virus from HIV, the one that causes AIDS, and HSV which causes genital herpes.
Although, what they have in common is that they can all be sexually transmitted.
