STD 101

STD 101 is based on a workshop at the 2014 National STD Prevention Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. That workshop provided participants who had limited or no STD prevention experience a basic knowledge of STD prevention so that they could actively participate in the conference. STD 101 in a Box now provides users with materials for developing similar workshops. The downloadable materials are customizable for conferences, group discussions, and presentations. Topics include STD clinical and behavioral information, HIV and STD interrelationships, STD epidemiology, and STD prevention program information. Potential users include but are not limited to community-based organizations, public health departments, and schools of public health, health educators, primary care providers, and disease intervention specialists.

Technology-Based HIV and STD Prevention: From Partner Services to Messaging to Structural Interventions

This informational and interactive session will provide updates on the best practices for using technology to reach populations at risk with health information and for improving partner services. Current collaborations with business owners in developing structural interventions for STD and HIV prevention also will be discussed. Frank Strona and Rachel Kachur of the working group Using Technology to Advance STD/HIV Prevention Services will introduce CDC’s newly released toolkit for technology-based partner services, provide an introductory overview of the common features found on popular sex-seeking mobile apps, and update participants on other available resources and technical assistance opportunities. Dan Wohlfeiler, Director, Building Healthy Online Communities, will describe their efforts in leveraging partnerships with business owners to develop structural interventions for increasing awareness about STD/HIV prevention. The partnerships synthesize health department activities and messaging to maximize impact and cross-jurisdiction collaboration, and these interventions help users of dating and hook-up sites make informed choices. Time permitting, participants will be able to network with colleagues, learn how different programs use technology for partner services, and explore cross-jurisdictional opportunities.
