Reflections from the 2024 CDC STI Prevention Conference

For the first time since 2018 and since the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hosted

their biennial STI Prevention Conference in-person in Atlanta, GA from September 16 – 19, 2024. This event brought

together international leading researchers with government experts, clinical sexual healthcare providers, and state and

local public health administrators for four days of scientific updates and sessions on science, programs, and policies

related to STI care.

Dr. Marguerite Urban and Dr. Daniela DiMarco from the CEI Sexual Health Center of Excellence attended the conference

and are back to bring you insights about their experience at the event. They chat about the different sessions they

attended and share personal thoughts and summaries of the cutting-edge research presented at the conference,

focusing on syphilis, Doxy-PEP, gonococcal resistance, and the syndemic of substance use and STIs.
