Providing adolescent-friendly sexually transmitted infection screening and treatment services.

There are high rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) worldwide. Adolescents and young adults (AYA) ages 15-24 years remain one of the populations that is most vulnerable to STIs. The goal of this review is to summarize recent international updates in adolescent STI screening and treatment. Normalizing sexual history taking and STI testing, and advocating for adolescents to receive comprehensive sexuality education improves stigma surrounding sexual health. The global rise in syphilis is pervasive and includes high rates of infection among AYA and women of reproductive age - universal screening may be indicated depending on local epidemiology. Gonococcal antimicrobial resistance remains a significant public health concern worldwide, thus judicious use of antimicrobials and reporting cases of resistance is crucial. Sexual health services are increasingly using virtual platforms, which may be an effective strategy for STI testing and treatment among AYA. Specific areas of focus to address the STI epidemic among AYA include reducing stigma surrounding sexual health, screening, and treatment of STIs, especially with the global rise in syphilis and high rates of gonorrhea resistance, in addition to increased use of telehealth services as effective education and intervention strategies.
