COVID pandemic impacts sexually transmitted infection screenings

In Vermont, Daniel Daltry is one of just two full-time state employees who trace HIV, hepatitis and other high-risk infections. Over the past year, he’s shifted most of his time to COVID-19 while also training 160 new employees hired to help with coronavirus contact tracing. Daltry and his colleague have continued contact tracing for syphilis and HIV throughout the outbreak. “But anything else we just couldn’t do it,” said Daltry, noting they did not track diseases like gonorrhea. Like other areas, Vermont saw plummeting numbers of confirmed STD cases, recording a 50% drop in reported chlamydia and a 90% drop in HIV compared to 2019 largely, experts say, a result of reduced testing.
