STI Tx Guide vs Antimicrobial Guide

The new app offers quick and easy access to streamlined STI prevention, diagnosis, and treatment recommendations. The user-friendly interface includes more clinical care guidance, sexual history resources, patient materials, and other features to assist with patient management. The STI Treatment (Tx) Guidelines mobile app serves as a quick reference guide for doctors and related parties on the identification of and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The full STI Treatment Guidelines (cdc.gov) can be accessed at https://www.cdc.gov/std/treatment-guidelines/default.htm. The guidelines provide current evidence-based prevention, diagnostic and treatment recommendations that replace the 2015 guidance. The recommendations are intended to be a source for clinical guidance. Healthcare providers should always assess patients based on their clinical circumstances and local burden.

The Antimicrobial Guide helps healthcare professionals select the appropriate antimicrobial treatment for their patients based on local guidelines and recommendations. Once a database is loaded into the Antimicrobial Guide, clinicians can simply select the infection of interest and the app will display the drug regimen that is recommended by their local healthcare institution and/or antimicrobial stewardship program. For antimicrobial stewardship programs, the Antimicrobial Guide is a powerful way to distribute empiric antimicrobial treatment guidelines in a format that is both easy and convenient for clinicians to use.
