Wyatt Hanft, MD, MPH STI Fellow, STD Control Branch, California Department of Public Health & California Prevention Training Center at UCSF
Course Description
Drs. Kathleen Jacobson and Wyatt Hanft will provide a 1-hour virtual training focused on syphilis clinical presentation, screening/testing, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up for pregnant patients. The presenters will use a case-based format to help attendees apply the learned material to a real-life scenario.
Learning Objectives
Review the epidemiology of syphilis and congenital syphilis (CS) in California
Apply the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) screening recommendations during pregnancy
Compare traditional and reverse screening algorithms for syphilis
Describe syphilis diagnosis, treatment and follow up during pregnancy
Calculating Interview Periods
A foundational step in any STI interview is determining the interview period. This timeframe is crucial for identifying sexual partners who may require testing and treatment. The DI Professional will calculate this period before the interview begins. The interview period represents the maximum possible duration during which the person could have contracted or transmitted the infection.
To equip DI Professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to accurately calculate interview periods for persons diagnosed with STIs/HIV.
In this e-learning module learners will:
Define interview period and its importance in working with people who are diagnosed with an STI/HIV.
Discuss factors affecting interview period length (e.g., STI type, symptoms, risk behaviors).
Calculate Interview Periods for Specific STIs using different patient profiles and STI/HIV diagnoses(Primary, Secondary, and Early Latent syphilis, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, PID, and HIV).

Implement CDC recommendations for CS testing and treatment based on infant and birthing parent labs and exam at the time of delivery, and apply current CDPH syphilis screening guidelines to pregnant people in California.
Cite evidence supporting doxy-PEP use, understand CDPH recommendations for doxy-PEP prescribing, and counsel patients on potential risks/benefits and follow-up for this biomedical prevention method.
Cite local trend data illustrating increased rates of Congenital Syphilis and syphilis among women, as a rationale for enhanced clinical screening for STIs for people who may become pregnant and during pregnancy.
Identify at least two local approaches to congenital syphilis prevention, including how to obtain wrap-around services for pregnant people with syphilis, and resources provided via partnerships with local surveillance programs.

CAPTC is pleased to announce two job aids, focused on mpox recognition, diagnosis, testing, treatment, and vaccination.
The shorter job aid is called “Mpox Clinical Recognition and Testing Quicksheet: Mpox Presentations vs. Common Exanthems.” It is intended as a print resource, to help facilitate clinical recognition of mpox in health care settings. The longer job aid, “Mpox Clinical Recognition and Testing Overview,” is intended as an electronic resource. It has links to a number of helpful mpox-related resources.
The goal of this training is to prepare staff of local health departments to perform effective disease intervention (DI) interviews for mpox. This training aims to build on disease intervention skills by applying knowledge of the complexities and nuances specifically related to mpox DI interviews.
Learning Objectives By the end of these trainings, you should be able to:
Communicate accurate information about mpox symptoms, transmission, prevention, treatment, and services.
Gain awareness of the lived experiences of gay, bi, other men who have sex with men (MSM), including transgender men, and other trans people as it relates to mpox.
Understand a sex-positive, person-centered approach to taking a sexual history for mpox.
Use motivational interviewing and health coaching tools to support clients in seeking vaccination, screening, or treatment for mpox.
Examine personal and structural biases to reduce stigma during mpox interviews.
