LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have continued to increase sharply over the past three years, including in Los Angeles County, and AIDS Healthcare Foundation<\/a> (AHF), the world\u2019s largest HIV healthcare provider, will host a protest and march calling on the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and the County Board of Supervisors to increase efforts, including allocating more funding, to fight skyrocketing rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\nAccording to the CDC<\/a>, \u201cReported cases of the sexually transmitted infections (STIs) chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis all increased between 2020 and 2021 \u2013 reaching a total of more than 2.5 million reported cases \u2013 according to CDC\u2019s <\/i>final surveillance data<\/a><\/i>.\u201d <\/i>The CDC also noted, \u201cTo reverse this trend, CDC is calling for more groups from local, healthcare, industry, and public health sectors to contribute to STI prevention and innovation efforts.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

\n\u201cA recent review of five years of history of the Board of Supervisors and the County\u2019s Department of Public Health found that they have repeatedly said they will seriously address STIs. However, no new funding has come into the County as STI rates continue to climb,\u201d said Alex Goncalves<\/b>, Senior Director, AHF\u2019s Public Health Division. \u201cSo, we will protest, march, and speak out to demand stepped up action on STIs, be it pulling money from other budgets to support STIs or lobbying the Federal government for more funding. Five years of unmet promises is too long for the County to say they will do more for STIs while nothing changes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAHF\u2019s Public Health Division created a one-sheet reference guide on the Board of Supervisors and L.A. County\u2019s Department of Public Health\u2019s actions on STIs. The document covers November 2017 through May 2023. To view AHF\u2019s \u201cSTI Action Timeline\u201d click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
