Exploration of health disparities associated with STIs, particularly among marginalized groups such as racial minorities, sex workers, and LGBTQ+ individuals. - Behavioral and Social Sciences:
Investigations into the behavioral aspects of sexual health, including risk behaviors, sexual networks, and the impact of social stigma on STI transmission.
Trending and Emerging
- Telehealth and Remote Testing:
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of telehealth services and remote testing for STIs, leading to increased research in these areas. - Antimicrobial Resistance:
There is a growing emphasis on understanding and addressing antimicrobial resistance in STIs, particularly in relation to Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Mycoplasma genitalium. - Integration of Behavioral Health and STI Services:
Research is increasingly focusing on the integration of mental health and substance use services with STI prevention and treatment programs. - Community Engagement and Outreach:
Studies exploring community-based approaches to STI prevention and education are emerging, emphasizing the importance of local involvement in public health initiatives. - Innovative Preventative Strategies:
Emerging research on new preventive measures, such as doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (doxy-PEP) and vaccine strategies, is gaining attention.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Laboratory Diagnostics:
As point-of-care testing and home sampling methods gain traction, traditional laboratory diagnostics may be receiving less emphasis in new research. - Generic Treatment Protocols:
Research is shifting towards personalized medicine and tailored treatment strategies, leading to a decline in generic studies of treatment protocols. - Longitudinal Studies on Historical Trends:
The focus on historical data analyses may be waning as researchers prioritize contemporary studies and real-time data collection related to emerging trends.
