New options for testing and treating some of the most common sexually transmitted diseases are becoming available.

WASHINGTON (AP) — New options for testing and treating some of the most common sexually transmitted diseases are becoming available, a trend that experts hope will keep downward pressure on U.S. infection rates.

Last year, the Food and Drug Administration approved the first at-home test that can detect three common infections in women — gonorrhea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis — as well as the first home-based kit for the virus that causes cervical cancer.

The agency ended the year by approving two different drugs for gonorrhea, the first new options for the disease in decades.

      It has to do with the proxying URLs on images [A rare instance related issue]

      On the clients that were mentioned:

      Here’s Thunder

      Here’s the dbzer0 web interface

      All with proper crossposting menus, anything else you’d like to misrepresent or lie about?

        It’s like that’s almost exactly what I mentioned you said, and exactly why I’m commenting proper links to older posts! It fixes the proxying issue you mention to include it in the post, so I’m happy I can be of assistance.

          That’s great! Then you should be able to just keep it to the rare image-only post that it actually happens on and not articles :)

            Nope, just in case of proxying issues or crosspost linking issues due to broken federation, I’ll keep it to all posts :)

              Not sure why you’d want to forward traffic to an instance who has admins that are transphobic and push Russian propaganda but you do you, I can’t stop you :)

                    You didn’t intend to warn me, you basically said I was supporting it by posting a link in the comments (which I wouldn’t have had to do if you didn’t just immediately crosspost form ML).

                    I don’t care what transphobes have to say, I’ve heard it all before, nice of you to link transphobic content to me. At least I don’t crosspost content from the land of transphobes, though! You enjoying having your feed be filled with ML content even though you claim to boycott them?
