In our premiere episode of Afaxys Candid Conversations in Public Health, host Beth Attias sits down with leading experts Dr. Tammy Bennett and Dr. Kristin Metcalf-Wilson from the Clinical Training Center for Sexual and Reproductive Health (CTC-SRH), along with Dr. Kristen Feldman of Afaxys.

Together, they explore the evolving landscape of STI clinical care in 2025—highlighting rising trends like the resurgence of syphilis, the growing role of point-of-care and at-home testing, and the importance of addressing gaps in provider education and access.

Listeners will gain practical insights into:
