Explore the benefits of technological innovation towards the elimination of HCV here and discover the work of a Canadian researcher who uses a mobile app to help patients across Canada navigate HCV.
FORUM
CATIE Forum 2017
CATIE is hosting its national, bilingual forum this November 23 and 24.

PRIORITIES
Sexually transmitted infections: Challenges ahead
Five priority areas identified by world leaders for which actions are urgently needed in this special edition of The Lancet: Infectious Diseases.

STUDY
Can enhanced screening of men with a history of prior syphilis infection stem the epidemic in men who have sex with men? A mathematical modelling study
What can public health learn from mathematical modeling about syphilis? This study looks at how prior histories of infection can focus syphilis screening interventions among men who have sex with men (MSM), based on mathematical modeling. (Coming soon from NCCID: a case study featuring how the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority informed its interventions design using this modelling study.)
