Explore STIWatch.org and get the latest resources to navigate the IUSTI & STI Prevention meetings!

AVAC is delighted to share its all-new STIWatch.org website just as advocates, clinicians, researchers and partners convene in Atlanta, GA for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention STI Prevention Conference, and in Sydney, Australia for the 25th International Union Against Sexually Transmitted Infections (IUSTI) World Congress.  

Rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) continue to rise globally with too little public health intervention and investment. While many STIs are curable, they often go undiagnosed and untreated because they tend to cause few or no initial symptoms. Available diagnostics are often too costly to use for routine screening and testing in many low to middle-income countries (LMICs), and few vaccines exist to address the most common STIs.  

STIWatch.org is an updated platform designed to enhance understanding and advocacy for STI vaccine and diagnostics research, development, and rollout. It offers comprehensive information on common STIs, a clinical trials dashboard, advocacy priorities, and a range of resources and tools to support STI prevention and treatment efforts.

STIWatch.org is an initiative of AVAC with funding and support from the World Health Organization, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
