Clinicians Appear to Under-Screen, Under-Treat Patients with STIs.

The article focuses on the under-screening and under-treatment of patients with sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It reports that insurance claims data revealed low rates of STI testing and treatment, particularly in cases of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). It emphasizes improved clinician communication and sexual history discussions to improve prevention efforts and raises concerns about STI surveillance and funding implications.
