There was a fight in the @STAT slack about whether we could call this piece "Dick pics for diagnosis" (you can see who won)

U.S. to recommend antibiotic pill after sex to prevent STIs

Sounds like a recipe for rich gernophobes to (very rapidly) create antibiotic-resistant STIs that we won't be able to afford increasingly hard-to-find cures for. Just sayin. #insanity #publichealth #sti #prophylaxis #antibiotics
